I prefer to have my nightmares with open eyes.
Hey guys, here is the new build that I'm planning on doing.
Before I ask for help I'd like to mention a few important things.
1) cost isn't a huge concern to me (although I'd like to keep it around the 3k mark), so please don't try and recommend that I downgrade parts just for the sake of budget
2) I don't prefer sli/crossfire, so don't say "downgrade x" and "sli this"
Okay, now I'll get to what I need help with.
a) Are all these water cooling parts compatible with eachother? When I was picking them out it seemed that they were, but I'd like it if someone experienced with watercooling would go ahead and confirm that for me.
b) Is that res enough or should I be looking at something else? It came up as "most popular" or frozencpu so I went with it.
c) Are there any other alternative water cooling parts that you would recommend?
d) I'm not mixing any metals that are going to be a problem right? (pretty sure I'm not)
