Hey guys! As this is my first time making a custom loop, I would like some advice. I haven't bought any of the items yet because I am still planning it out. If you have any personal experience with any of these parts, please tell me your opinions! Also, I already own the case and motherboard.
Case: NZXT Phantom 820
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus V Formula
Pump: Swiftech MCP35X
Res: Bitspower Z-Multi 250*
Rad: Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 3x120mm
Fans: Corsair SP120 Quiet Edition
CPU Block: Koolance CPU-380 (Intel)
Fittings: I plan to use all Bitspower fittings, 3/8 ID + 1/2 OD
Tubing: Open to suggestion!
Coolant: EK Ekoolant - Blood Red
And on to my questions. Regarding the reservoir, I have read mixed reviews on it. Due to that, I am open to suggestions for a res too. Also, I have a single MSi GTX 680 Lightning. Would it be worth adding that to the loop? If so, would any GTX 680 waterblock fit it, or would I be stuck with EK's specially made waterblock for it?
