My loop plan, looking for feedback :)

Looking for suggestions and feedback for the watercooling loop that I am planning out for this https://pcpartpicker.com/b/yhNNnQ PC, I did a brief eye down of the runs and counted out how many of each fitting would be needed. I think this is good, but I want to double check before I drop $1000 on it :)

A pump/res combo would be cheaper and takes up less space.

Run the loop for a good 24 hours with nothing but the pump and fans plugged in to check for leaks and make sure the fittings are screwed in tight. If they aren't tight, the tube bending around can actually unscrew them.

Yea, but I have the space in my case and would prefer to have that rad for the looks :P Also, that pump gives me the ability to expand, where some combo units are not so great when under an extreme load.
