Stuck Between A Custom Loop and Air Cooling

Hardware Hub Cooling
1

Like the title says, i am stuck between a custom loop. The custom loop would be for the CPU only until i had enough money to upgrade my GPU. I know a custom loop is overkill for my CPU but, watercoolng looks badass... and expensive. I mainly want a custom loop to sty a bit future proof, if you think i should go with air cooling please will you recommend one for a 4.7ghz+ OC on my FX 6300.

 

 

Thanks in advanced, Dom.

 

My current PC:

AMD FX 6300,

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5

8gb DDR3 Dual Channel 1866mhz,

Sapphire Radeon 7850 Overclocked, (Soon to be paired/Replaced to HD 79X0)

OCZ 650watt 80+ Bronze Non-Modular PSU,

2TB Seagate Barracuda Sata 3 7200RPM 6Gb/s HHD,

Fractal Design Arc Midi R2,

Get a raystorm XSPC kit. Its amazing, its what I use, full custom loop, and only costs around $140.

i would probably replace the barb fittings though.  I'm a little on the paranoid side when it comes to water cooling, this keeps for a tighter fitting so less chance of leak.

They get around that by having the tubing smaller than the barbs by one size. You have to really force the tubing on there, provides a really tight seal. 

 

But yea, Im saving for compression. If anything, the aesthetics are better.
