I'm building a new rig with an AMD R9 7950x, and am planning to later swap in a Nvidia 4090 (ideally the FE) when they become available.
The idea of starting with an Alphacool CPU AIO and expanding it to a water block on the GPU later, seems really interesting.
What would you guys recommend to purchase?
My default was an Eisbar 360 or 420 for just the CPU. 420 seems overkill for just a CPU and not fit in case but I'm not sure yet until I get the case and can measure the actual clearance. If it does fit, presumably more radiator is better long-term if I will also be dumping heat from a GPU.
Would I later be just shopping for a matching GPU water block and more water piping, or would it be necessary to add another radiator, maybe another pump, etc.?
