Hey guys so a friend and I are looking into watercooling his rig and we need help picking parts.
Ideally he would like to watercool his graphics card and processor.
His current case is the Corsair 750D Airflow edition, Graphics card is the Asus GTX 1060 6GB OC Edition, and i5-6600k with Z170 Mobo. (Don't flame he bought this stuff without my help lol)
Essentially we would need the blocks, pumps, reservoirs, radiator, tubing etc. the whole 9 yards.
His budget is $650 dollars and he plans to buy ASAP, ideally within the next 7 days.
He would like a blue and white theme, ideally with the tubing having one blue tube and one white tube or something similar to that.
If you guys could help that would be awesome and LMK if I forgot to add or mention anything.

This.
Your friend is an idiot.
Sell the 1060 and get a 1080.

I have attempted to convince him he doesn't need to watercool since he only plays two games and a GTX 660 could run both. Lol. He wants it for the aesthetics, and doesn't really have plans to overclock. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Assuming I could convince him of the 1080 what would a watercooling build look like from there. I really would have no clue where to start in watercooling a 1060 anyways since there are no blocks out and using a CPU block wouldn't really be efficient, and it would probably make things worse lol.

I mean he's got money I'm sure I can get him to move his budget upwards to $850.

Whys he not overclocking? Especially if hes got soo much money he doesn't know what to do with it, not that overclocking will shorten the life of his stuff anyway
