    That is the coolant im using and im sure ill be finne for a while but I still wanna replace it, corrosion will still happen, the coolant only slows the process, id rather have it swapped as fast as possible.

    Im getting the same fittings as you are planning, Ill let you know how they work out but my understanding is they are pretty legit

    Yeah im definitely aware of the "not mixing metals" thing, which is why i only went for copper. I will add a flow-meter somewhere for sure. Good idea about the tube inside the resevoir, totally forgot about that..
     About the coolant, i was planning on using some sort of white coolant, but im slowly changing my mind. i was planning on changing the loop atleast 2 times a year, im not sure if the opaque coolants clog that fast. Ill end up going water because im extremely unlucky in situations like that and it will mess my system for sure lol.
    Thanks for the tips, really appreciate, the psu is modular btw

    the psu should be fine, but you may want to consider getting a modular one for unrelated reasons
     
    you should definitely get plenty of extra tubing, so it isn't a big deal if you make mistakes. you should get a couple spare fittings, for the drain valve or in case you have any issues
     
    since you plan on having your reservoir top filled at the end of the loop, you may want to add a inlet tube (i forget the proper term) so the coolant doesn't splash when it returns to the reservoir. This'll just cut down noise as the trickling can be distracting
     
    Coolant is up to you. It varies how often you have to change it depending on which one you use. i would recommend against some of the opaque ones because they tend to deteriorate quickly and gunk up your loop. distilled water with a biocide lasts the longest and has the highest heat conductivity
     
    You could change the order of the loop, but it's up to you. It will run totally fine the way you've sketched it.
     
    Other notes, just don't mix metals but your part list looks like you're already using only copper. Optional would be to add a flow-meter somewhere in the loop to let you know if it ever has any issues
     
     
    I've only even done soft-tubing so i don't have much advice for the hard line tubing. Just buy extra and take your time
