Need some help/comments on a new WC set

[maxietheboss]

so i just got into watercooling and i want to start out good, no kit for me.
So far this is what i have on my list:
Waterkool Heatkiller rev 3.0 LT
XSPC Razor 4870
Eheim 1048
Thermochill PA120.3
Innovatek AGB-O-MATIC
3x Yate Loon d12sl-12
arctic silver 5
3/8" fittings/tubes

all of this has to cool my new phenom 2 x3 720 and my hd4870 (clocked at 850~900/1000)
i've got a few questions:
1. This set is going to cost me about 350 euros, how much better than high end cooling is this.
2. Will the PA120.3 fit in a HAF932 enclosure, i know it fits 120x3 rads but this is one big rad.
3. I might install a second 4870 later on, would this be a good enough setup
4. Is this setup overkill for my system ?

If you want to save money I have a XSPC 360 for 90$ shipped. It's just as good as the thermochill and you can use quiet fans without a huge performance decrease.

Also, I suggest this waterblock for the 4870.

I would recommend a GPU Core waterblock plus ram sinks, but since it's your first time you really don't want to learn an expensive lesson.

MCP355 + XSPC Res top is the best you can get besides Iwaki. Makes it a hell easier to bleed since it is a reservoir also.

As far as the fans, anything over 35 DB is really annoying for everyday use. Thats me at least. I used to have 40DB yate loons and they drove me crazy.

Also, MX2 is better than AS5 so if you can get that awesome.

1. This is high-end watercooling buddy.
2. I don't think a triple radiator will fit in there so try to get a radbox and hang it off the back. It's nice you have some grommets there for the tubing at the back of your case.

3. Yes, the MCP355 + XSPC top has enough head pressure to cycle the water in you loop fast enough without any side effects.
4. No. I have seen people with three quad radiators to cool a cpu only. You made a good choice in your waterblock which isn't restrictive and will allow better flow thru your loop.

do performance pc's ship to the netherlands, with the current exchange rates that might save me some cash i can put in better parts.
and on the coolermaster site it says that i can fit a triple radiator in that case, thanks for the advice by the way

Where were you planning on putting the rad? The only place i can think of is if you cut up the top of the case to fit one.

I think they ship international go ahead and look

 

[maxietheboss]

yeah they do ship internationally, but the shipping costs are so high i might as well but it here.
What sort of temps do you think i could get with this setup, no point in spending almost 350 euros if it is only going to cool 5-10 degrees better than a high end aircooler.
i planned on putting 1350rpm yate loons on the rad btw

you can definitely fit the rad in the top as far as space goes. the problem is that there is that bump on top and youd have to remove all that somehow like this guy did.
