If that is the case I will scrap the idea and roll with what I have.
Don't take my word for it. I've actually never attempted to put a custom loop in a midtower, so I'm totally unfamiliar with the WC products geared toward space efficiency. And a single radiator and two blocks doesn't need the most powerful pump.

With it not including the CPU I would think that moving the CPU cooler to the top and removing the bottom fan would give me enough room, but like I said I am a novice at this.

If it were me, I would get a bigger case and ditch the aio cpu cooler. I would want it all tied in to the same loop.

Cable management needs a little more work, and my decorative things aren't coming until after Christmas.
Good thing I can get most of my setup without having to show the rest of my office

You got the Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard for your build right?
What are your opinions?
Considering that board, the Asus Prime Z370-A, and the MSI Z370 Gaming 5.
Posted on 12/19/17 at 11:03 am to boXerrumble
The Gaming 7 has the 2nd best VRMs with the ISL99227B, it is on par and up there with the Asus Extreme, and above the ASRock OC Formula, and the MSI Godlike.
Prime A is entry level VRMs none really worse than what it offers, and MSI Gaming 5 is upper-mid range with the Strix boards.
Gigabyte Gaming 7 and ASRock Taichi are your best for the money in terms of performance/OCing.

It has been great, if I could change anything it would be an extra slot spacing between GPUs, but if you are looking at water cooling this isn't an issue. The MOBO software took some getting used to but just because it was new to me.
Install was easy (use the spaces between mobo and case.) Wiring was well labeled, a ton of fan headers.

I am having Windstream installed next week to test it out. I never got close to 1 TB before Cox's data caps and now about 21 days in I get the 85% warning, then miraculously every month they say I used an other 60% in 7 days.

Wow
Data caps are criminal. I have internet at 3 locations currently.
1. Work apartment Orange, Tx - Charter @ 50MB/s for $49.99 - 640GB Cap
2. 2nd Work apartment Lake Charles, La - Spectrum 400MB/s for $69.99 - 500GB Cap
3. House Thibodaux, La - RTC 150MB/s for $79.99 - No Cap
My fastest internet provider comes with the LOWEST cap and the only local/small ISP is the only ISP which comes with NO cap. ISPs are fckking insane and now it will only become worse.

So I'm down to a 7800x build or 8700k. Is more PCIe lanes and Quad Channel Memory really worth it?
I already have a Rosewell Capstone 750W, 16 GB HyperX DDR4 2133 (2x8 Gb), and ssds/hdds.
Will obviously need the waterblocks, pump, resovoir, tubing, etc...
LSUCoyote/Stout, you guys still selling a Titan Xp with waterblock/bp? I'm still debating if I want to SLI or not.
