I have the mods rig in my profile, I'm looking to do cooling for my CPU and later down the road do graphics. Was curious if my parts are that I even have able to do cooling. I look at the water cooling for noobs. was hoping to get little more reassuring to get an understanding of if it's right or even if I'm able to do cooling.

 From your Rig are you planning on using the same Case?

I'd like to use the same case, but if i need to switch i'll be more then welcome to.

Watercooling is great if you want to keep a 24/7 high overclock and you bench a lot, runs crazy game settings and/or multi-monitors etc.... but if not and your just going to run it modestly with games at stock settings or slightly above, air cooling is just fine. Unless you live near the equator where temps for your ambients would be really hot 24/7, then yeah it would help there too. Water cooling is fun and all until you have a problem and have to dismantle half of it to fix something or rma parts etc.... Also, depending on how you design your loop, it can get pretty expensive to put something effective together, that's why so many people have moved to the all in one coolers, which fall in between air cooling and full fledged water cooling.

in my situation, my CPU and graphics run pretty hotly when I'm not home. I"m a folding machine and it would help with cooling gets pretty hot in my room. the all in one cooling for water is that like a specific motherboard/ case or just a system you can install?

Oh yeah, for you folding guys water would def be a great thing. The all in ones are like this for a cpu, : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100008008 50001459 600036012 8000&Manufactory=1459 heres the listing for the gpu's : http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=all+in+one+coolers+gpu&N=-1&isNodeId=1 There are other aftermarket gpu all in one coolers like that but youll have to search them out and do some research on what you want. Evga has a all in one but whether it would fit your card or not I cant say for sure. Other than that, youll have to build out a full fledged water loop and youll probably need a bigger case if you want to do that, which is what BCav was probably eluding to. :) Edit: fixed link.

btw both links to CPU cooling. so bigger the case would allow the room I need for the graphics and CPU cooling? probably help with wire managing as well.

I think the real question is what are you looking to spend? Either collectively or separately on cooling plus a case? I wouldn't water cool in something smaller than a full tower myself, but depending on what your going to do and how you want it to look in the end a large mid case can work too.

If the configurer says it fits, it fits. Went through it my self and it came up with two styles of blocks for the MSI Gaming X cards. EK is the largest water block maker. So to see they have a block is not surprising. This being EVGA forums, you don't really hear about the other blocks out there for other brands.

Link to product it self. The link you provided just takes us to the block finder page.
It won't save the product chosen.....I just tried it myself

Looks like the same thing I came up with, now you decide between "full cover or Universal". Which I always choose full cover, otherwise you have to add passive cooling on the RAM and Mosfet.

Going full cover cost little more but worth it, only thing is back plate but im worry about couldn't i use my original one or is it a must to get there's?

With a MSI GPU I do not know if the original back plate will fit. Could try Google and see what might be out there, if anyone else has had success in keeping the original back plate. I do know on some EVGA GPUs people have managed to make them fit but have had to come up with "some" screws of proper length, diameter and thread pitch to reinstall it to the block. I, IMO think EK's back plates are ugly and quite expensive but have paid the price since I know they will work with the blocks I have purchased.
