[s]Air vs Water cooling.[/s]
I want to know if I should watercool on these cases or if they are watercool only.

I did like the NZXT PSU cover with SSD mounting but the Fractal solves that but anyway I am concerned about cooling. this is my list so far. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h9jQf8

If buying EKWB, they already provide good quality paste.

They don't skimp and they take it all seriously.

well your budget?
the pricing of that 360mm is not bad but i would need to check cases that are compatible

i would go 240mm or 280mm rad for general mid towers. a full tower would fit the 360mm
I wanted the 240mm anyway

If the Case allows for it, 280mm is a good choice; that means using larger 140mm fans that can move more air at lower RPMs.

apparently both styles of the corsair 750D are on sale for 99.49$ http://pcpartpicker.com/product/Rwhj4D/corsair-case-cc9011078ww this is if you want to spend for the 360mm

I want the 280(got confused again) the 140 fans. but I will need to buy more fans for the radiator? Should I also get some for (mobo ram gpu ect)?

Nevermind, unless I'm mistaken, there doesn't seem to be a "Predator AIO 280mm" choice

These only go for CPU what about cooling the others?

you can buy a prefilled GPU block and do you see that gray part on your AIO? that can attach to the GPU block. i would reccommend only a 360MM rad for this because you will have more heat to disapate than just a CPU

so the "360" covers 3"fans"
If you can what would be the price of the CPU and GPU blocks?

3 fans yes (360mm = 3 120mm fans)

will the air still go through the radiator and cool the others? but I am guessing I need more fans.

Masterbox cannot use the 360.
Fractal can use the 360.
I guess

You can buy it seperatly or in a package AIO?
