Hey guys so i have made a cart with the parts i plan on buying when water cooling.

Parts list: http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/zqT

So here is my question:

am i right that i need 10 fittings with this build?
Is coloured yellow tube better than clear tube with colouring (this would be the colour i'd be adding if i choose clear tube http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/zqT) ?
I heard that colouring can block up your loop, but if you have a silver coil will it not block?
Can i make this build cheaper but not affect qaulity of parts?
Am i missing any parts?
Need recommendations on fans and whether to do a pull or push config. or both

1. thing first, not enough rad, I'd advise a second 240, or at least another 120mm

2. you only actually need 8 fittings (10 with above suggestion), that pump and res can be simply plugged into one another, as jayztwocents shows here:

3. I've heard not-so-great reviews about masterkleer tubing about colour leakage, I'd advise the Primochill advanced LRT.

Aside from that i don't think you could make it cheaper, and you aren't missing anything, you don't custom water-cool because it's cheap. (I'm putting together a comparable loop with similar parts)

Recent watercooling dye and premixed coolant are a lot better then they used to be they are less likely to gunk up. I'd use a biocide or a Premixed coolant that has dye/biocide already mixed in rather then a silver kill coil.
