    The 1200 isn't built for watercooling, it would take plenty of modding.


    The CM ATCS 840 has plenty of size, cooling, and easily accepts watercooling. If you can afford it it's probably your best bet.

    Cosmos S is very easy to watercool, since it's got quite a few places you can install the radiator.

    as pistol_pete said, whether you want top air performance: HAF/1200 or you want easier to watercool: cosmos S/kandalf lcs

    If you are going with Watercooling then avoid TTake's "LCS" rubbish.
    The HAF is ugly but looks are a personal choice.
    Why go for maximum air cooling potential then watercool things? What are you planning to put under water?

    I like thw look of the haf and am going to paint it if i get it
    If i get the cosmos s which is kind of fugly then ill paint it blue and black and get a side panel with a window from coolermaster

    Air cooling for ram and the graphics sinc i might only cool the cpu with liquid cooling
    Its my first build and im only 13 so i know alot about computers and components but im still learnin about liquid cooling and im going to l/c it later

    Im Forgeting thermaltake now

    Any good full liquid cooling systems for less than $200 usd

    not really, liquid cooling is expensive if you do it right....

    there are a few places that do "custom" watercooling kits that are relatively inexpensive if you are just doing CPU cooling.

    Wait a minute... why would you need a high airflow case for water cooling? You should be looking for a case that can mount/fit a radiator easily. Unless you only plan to WC your CPU or GPU and need the airflow for the rest of your components, you definitely should be looking for WC cases instead of high airflow cases.

    already been said, already been pretty much ignored.
    oh well!

    bit of an offtopic ninja edit: you say you are thirteen, are you paying for all this yourself?

    Yeah I find that a bit odd. The waterblocks alone for 3 GTX's would cost £200. That's pretty ambitious.

    Regarding pre-built loop, Custom PC recommends the Swiftech H20-220 Compact. The pump sits atop the GPU block, with a dual rad in a closed loop. Don't know if they make a i7 mounting though.

    Huh, your post seems to have slipped beneath my radar. Sorry for the redundancy.

    Yo any water cooling cases like the tj07 that can fit 4 or 3x120mm rad. The cm stacker 830nv looks like it can fit a 4x120 rad on the side panel can it?

    :eyebrow:
    Umm...
    right.
    If you are ONLY cooling the CPU why not go for just a single 120 rad? you do realize that what you are looking to do is completely OTT.
