Build my loop.

[delvryboy]

I'm looking to dive into some basic water cooling. This is pretty much going to be an eye candy build.

There will be no dedicated GPU; CPU is a A8-3870k. Socket FM1. Colors are going to be UV green and purple, so I'd like to aim there for tubing. I'd like to keep it under $200.

This is the case, so I think have room at the top for the rad. and fans. I originally bought it with the intentions of using a H2O 620:

Are you looking for a custom built loop? a self contained cooler might be perfect for you as you will not have a GPU in the loop.

For looks I would use a daul 120MM rad on the top,

1/2" UV tubing always looks sexy!

To top it off a monsoon res+pump is attractive:

Oh and blinky RAM is good too:

Already have a h2o 620, looking for something custom. Maybe a slim 2x 120? I'd like to use a push configuration exhausting out the top, since I won't have any added gpu heat.

Good luck building a custom loop under $200. Can be done but not with the best components.

It's not a hard budget.
