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.

This probably is a 2-3 month process not really about money but I'll set a 500-800 budget. I wanting to get my feet wet before I start diving in. wanted to gather all the parts put it on paper really and get a few suggests. I'll be posting updates on all the part and stuff to get a feel if I leave anything out.
 
so here's where I'm at for the moment
