custom watercooling loop

hey need some help building a custom loop, have a 1080 sc acx, 8700k, and a corsair 400c case, i would go for either 1 360mm rad or 2 240mm rads, either one fine, im new to custom loops so it would be a great help if u have any suggestions for what block i should get, pumps, res,etc any help would be great. i need a silent loop but also a high performing loop so keep that in mind. also i want to go soft tubing for my first loop. a would target price range around $300-400 but if u need too max $500 for everything. thanks to everyone who help :)

A pair of alphacool 240’s. Preferably crossflow. 

 

What ever d5 or ddc pump you can find. 

Ek supremency block and their block for the 1080fe. 

 

Then pick a fitting style and hose. 

I prefer triple barb and ek’s matte black hose. Or some 3/8-5/8 compression fittings and primochile hose.
