@Xx_death1544_xx if you're as young as what your prof pic tells.

 

then you need personal and live help rather than a forum. Plus it's hard to sum-up watercooling.(videos I've seen like daz and singularity dicussed the basics but it took them a couple of videos)

 

I recommend going for an AIO first and then do a custom loop when you're older.

 

but if you do have personal help or you can get personal help from someone who already knows how to do these then go for it, otherwise don't

In terms of watering the basics are a reservoir, pump, radiators, blocks, tubing, and fittings. 

 

For the loop order doesn't matter except the res needs to be before the pump so the pump never runs dry. In the loop itself you have a few choices of fluid from colored ones to straight distilled water. For distilled water biocides or a silver kill coil will be necessary.

wont a silver kill coil promote corrosion

 

Silver is pretty similar metal in terms of galvanic corrosion to copper, brass, and nickel which is what would be found in a loop the thing that really is a worry is having aluminum in a loop or any steel or since those will corrode away and act as an anode.
