It's hella worth it. All the ladies love some wet components. I'd get a custom loop tbh, if I had the dolla for it. I don't see any reason not to do it, if you have the money for it, unless you don't know what you're doing. Up to OP really, but I'd definitely recommend it for that rig, especially with the Titan X since the reference cooler kind of holds it back.

I dont recommend a custom loop for these reasons:

1. It is a pain to set up
2. Too many custom parts
3. So many things that could go wrong
4. Not a huge performance increase, but still cooler components
5. Increases cost of power by a smidge

If you are experienced with custom loops, go for it, it just isn't worth it for a first time custom looper

How are you meant to get experienced with custom loops if you don't have a go?

He could start with the basics by using soft tubing aswell

Yeah but I've never built a PC either but tutorials are there if I need them right? Like I said I may not do a custom loop. Just out of curiousity though, what kinds of things could go wrong? Could it mess up the entire PC if it did go wrong?

1. Not true. If you feel like it's going to be a chore, then yes, it will be boring. If you get excited and look forward to it, you'll enjoy it.
2.What? That makes no sense? Who cares how many parts there are? There aren't even "too many". 10 fittings is all you need for a CPU and GPU loop, then you need res, rad, pump and tubing, that's about it.
3.Not true. Name a couple of the "so many things that could go wrong".
4.It's a huge performance increase over stock cooler. Granted, good AIO's are going to perform great anyway, but a custom loop is still going to give better temperatures, the majority of the time.
5.What?
6.If you're not experienced with something, how do you get experience? It's like work. You can't apply for work experience, because you don't have any experience? Bullshit. Next thing you're gonna say is that you need experience to build a PC.

You don't have to, it's just an option. Custom loops are mainly for enthusiasts now-a-days, but you have $4k to drop, your rig deserves a custom loop IMO. If you don't feel comfortable doing it, don't. There's not much that can go wrong at all. Watch some YouTube video's to learn about custom loops first(JayzTwoCentz knows a lot) and you'll be absolutely fine.

For a first time, not worth going with a custom loop if you aren't sure. However when you get more experienced you will wan't to venture into the wonderful world of water

Im just saying that if this is his first build, which i dont know if it is, it would be difficult to get the right parts and to get them to go with things in such, haha. And by the experience i meant in building computers. Sure he has 4k to drop, but why do that if a good aio will suffice. Also somethings that could go wrong is that if there is a leakage, and the solution/water gets on the mobo or any other parts, the PSu for instance will fry is computer or disable the part. Not 100% of the time that copuld happen just in some occasions. You know a lot about computer, but he doesn't. To you it seams easy to him it would be like running a 100m with no training.

Gonna start looking around the stores nearby for the parts in a couple days, if anyone has any last opinions please let me know. Everything is taken into consideration. Thanks.

I have to know, is this your first build you have done? If so it is really easy!

Yeah. My old PC was built by one of my dad's friends. If I run into trouble I'm sure he can help me.
