is cheaper to buy from performance-pcs instead of buying from local wc distributor?
and should i change my pump?
im using xspc x20 750dc pump
and in near future will add mobo block + another gtx580+wb
will this pump support the loop..and im using 500r casing with rx240 for the cpu / and mobo block and ek 240 rad for the dual gc
im using the stock xspc kit pump rx240 which rated 750l/h

Also if you are adding another gtx580 need another rad

Also if you are adding another gtx580 need another rad why would u use 2 rad for 1 cpu?? 2 rad not enough? rx240 and xt 240.. my loop is reservoir/pump>cpu>xt 240>gpu>rx240>res/pump
