When AMD Vega is out, I'll finally have a GPU that can really push higher settings with my 3440x1440 monitor.
And what better way to celebrate, than doing a WC loop for my CPU/GPU?

My specs right now are:

Maximus VIII Hero
Intel 6700k@4.6ghZ (Corsair H110i GTX, ML140 fans in push)
Corsair Vengeance LPX Black, 3000MHz kit
Sapphire RX 480 Nitro+ GPU @ 1380/2100
Corsair AX 760i PSU
Corsair 760t case (white w/ side panel)
Samsung 850 PRO 512gB
WD Caviar Black 2 TB/4TB

I want a white/black aesthetic, so I'll be picking up the same Corsair Vengeance in white.
I'm also going to sell my mobo and get either the Asus Z170 Deluxe or, if there's a better offering for Kaby lake, some future white/black mobo.

What kind of kit would you guys recommend for a first timer?

I'd prefer hard tubing, and I have a heat gun used for stripping paint...would this be suitable for bending pipe into shape?
I'd also like to know what kind of brands are preferred - there's youtube videos all over, my favourites being Singularity Computers, but most of you have experience in this area.

Will my PSU be enough for this system?
I'd ideally run a 420MM Rad as I already have the Corsair ML 140s, and would like to include a reservoir in the system.

What fittings do you guys like to use?
What are good brands of fluid?
What are the best company with regards to AMD blocks?
What is the best route?

Thanks guys!

Wish Corsair would get rid of that ugly as shit neon VENGEANCE logo and change it to white or something.

Keep in mind the Asus Z170 PCB is brown, not black.

I suppos you could do a CPU loop first but when you add in the GPU block you'll most likely have to re do some of it. So i would just wait.

Rule of thumb for rad space, 240mm for CPU and 120mm for each additional block. You may need a bit more if you go slim rads (30mm) depending on what you're cooling.

I would recommend soft tubing for your first build. There's soft tubing loops out there that look just as good or better than hard tubing loops.

Plan your loop ahead of time. Pepper ur Angus for a hole in your wallet
