Hello there, I am getting ready to do a build out of a TT Core X9 and I was thinking about liquid cooling. I know all about closed loop options, but am much less familiar with a custom loop. So, here is my question:
Q. Would it be better for me to used closed loop options only like the GTX Titan X Hybrid as well as the closed loop cooler i have specified for the CPU I will be using, or should I look into getting a full custom loop liquid cooler? I know that a custom loop takes quite a bit more maintenance, and I like more of the hands free approach, after the build is complete of course, but which method should I use? Thanks for any help that you can provide and see below for current build specs.

x1 Samsung 850 Pro 256GB SSD.
x1 GTX Titan X Superclocked GPU. x1 Corsair H100i GTX 280mm closed loop High Peformance CPU liquid cooler.
Lots of 120mm Corsair High Performance Edition case fans. All case fans will have a fine mesh fan filter over each fan.
A few more 140mm case fans and possibly one or two 200mm's, all filtered.
The desktop will include an Asus AC wireless card.
The desktop will include an external Asus blu-ray reader/writer.
I am thinking of adding a liquid cooling loop that cools the GPU, CPU, and chipset, among other things, but may need additional help as I have not installed a custom loop LCS before.
