Making a Budget Loop. Help!?

So I'm selling my 760 I got laying around to my friend, Not selling full price, I was looking to sell it to him in the 175$ - 200$ range. So I need to get a custom loop build of those parts. 

 

All I need right now are the basics. I got a waterblock for my 780 already, so I can check that off the list. I have an h100 also so I could possible use some parts from that if needed. I got all the parts on my own, but it totals to 280$. 

 

I was wondering if I could somehow get a Res,Pump,CPU block, Tubes, and fittings for it, all within 175-200$, without having crap parts that will break. I would love to get a 360mm rad, but I see some for like 80$, so maybe I need to leave that out. If possible I would love the pump to be able to change speeds. 

 

If you got any questions, even if they are just super short or simple, post them, I really need help with this. I don't know what's OK to buy that won't break on me. 

 

Here's all the parts I got myself that where totaled of 280$ help? Please? D:

 

Res:
 
Pump:
 
CPU Block:
 
PSU Wire Tool Kit:
 
Heatshrink:
 
Tubes:

You can go to the FAQ to section 2.8. I created a as cheap as possible loop there, you will be looking at $300 if you don't want to compromise, possibly more as you need extra fittings and more rad space for the GPU.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Using the same principles as the logic behind not skimping on a PSU. Just don't skimp on anything at all that will kill your components if they fail. It is simply not a good idea I am afraid.

"If you do not take your failures seriously you will continue to fail"

what about the H220? it's supposedly expandable like that.

Good idea! :D Might go that way, Fits in the 200$ range. Any other expandable loops? I forgot about all of them, I know FrozenCPU sells the pump+waterblock combo for the CPU, maybe I should just get that?

Thought so. I  think the only thing I need to consider in the list is the pump. it's like half the entire price.

Im 17 living with my parents, and don't get allowance. :P I'm only getting the money I make of selling the 760. I think I did find a solution.

The pump is where the "compromise" is in that kit. That's why its around $100 cheaper.
