Water Cooling?

[nuketown]

Am wanting to build a water cooled pc this time 'round.
And, of course, I want a loop that a) preforms well b) looks good.

I am planning to liquid cool

i5 3570k
680

What sort of radiator do I need? Which case would work well?
Could anyone propose a build?

Cheers

(looking to spend max $400)

 

[just a noob]

120.3 radiator in a dual pass configuration
look at a heatkiller gpu and cpu block
I prefer a d5(with an aftermarket top) over a ddc mainly because of noise
and for a case look at a corsair d7/800

Triple Fan Radiator is best like an XSPC RX series or EK XT series- Yes I know they are expensive but the will handle best for that cpu and gpu because they are thick and will disperse heat nicely.

As far as block, either an ek hf supreme or an xspc raystorm. Pump- definitely a d5 type such as the swiftech 655 w/ an ek top. Oh and don't forget your gpu waterblock.

So, here's a list an pricing:

EK 680 waterblock: ~$135
EK HF Supreme/ XSPC Raystorm: ~$60-$70
XSPC RX360/ EK XT360: ~$85
Swiftech MCP655: ~$67
Fittings,Tubing,etc: ~$50

Total: ~$400

Water cooling will unfortunately burn a hole in your wallet but it looks and performs nice in the end.
