Default EK full cover gpu cooler for 5850 in Canada

Ok well I could just be blind, dumb, stupid, or a combination of but I cant seem to find an EK full cover block in Canada let alone at a decent price anywhere.

Im looking at building my first WC loop for my gaming machine I built over oct of this past year.

I was looking at an EK Supreme CPU block for my i5 750, the full cover EK block for my XFX 5850, a Swiftech MCR360 rad, and im undecided on a reservoir but I wanted a bay mount style one as I dont have too much space to work with in my antec 300 case. Im not quite sure what kind of pump I should be looking for to run this.

Money is somewhat of an issue as I dont want to spend more than say 450 or so. I know that's a bit of a tight budget but I'm hoping it can be done especially once I sell my TRUE 120.

Help me!

AFAIK there's 2 places in Canada that stock WC stuff. NCIX and Dazmode. If you ask Daz nicely, he'll bring in any EK Block with his next stock order. NCIX has been limited in what they carry compared to what they used to, IMHO.

Oops. DirectCanada and NCIX are part of the same group of companies, and ship out of the same warehouse.

I'm not big fan of Swiftech radiators. And I get mocked for keep saying they are weakest performers on the market.

Swiftech 655 or 655-B with EK X-top is most popular. If you like to save some money you can go EK or DD pumps., many people very happy with them too. Plus you can snatch custom top+reservoir combo for them.

I like and always use round Ek Multi-Res because of it versatility. Swiftech res is dirt cheap, but awkward to mount. Bay reservoirs is not very popular but have their place too...

You always can call me to discuss options 416 840-2800 x200 ...Faster then type :)

Hey Daz,

Would you by any chance have a good idea for a single or double water cooled loop, for the computer I currently have? I have been looking all over for a Canadian retailer and just today stumbled across your site. I have just built this comp and looking to WC it.
