The upcoming month will be exciting for me as I intend to install an EVGA GTX 980 TI SC+ and since my system already includes a water cooling loop, adding a block for the card is planned. This is the current setup as of today.
If you're curious about what's in my loop, just let me know and I'll share it.
Something also stood out to me while considering this upgrade. Do I have sufficient power for a stable overclock and enough capacity to support it? You can see the details in the link provided.
If you'd like, I can describe what I have in my loop.

It seems to function well. Consider an 850w for quieter performance, though this applies mainly to very high overclocking.

It seems you're considering a 750W power supply and wondering about the optimal overclocking distance for your CPU and new GPU.

It seems you're considering the 750 unit for your setup. Regarding the extent of overclocking for both CPU and GPU, you can achieve significant modifications. I mentioned a need for around 850 watts to ensure smooth operation. Also, please clarify the number of pumps and other components involved.

It's an Alphacool dual bay res pump setup featuring the D5 pump. The radiators are positioned at the top, with a 240 and a 140 located in the front.

It's an Alphacool dual bay res pump setup using the D5 pump. The rear lights are positioned at the top, 240 and 140, in the front. Everything looks okay.
