So, I want to water cool my PC.

 

Specs are as follows:

CPU: i7-4770K

VGA: ASUS DCU II GTX 780

M/B: MSi Z87-GD65 Gaming

Chassis: CM Storm Trooper

So this would be my first time water cooling.

Parts I have picked out so far:

CPU WB:

GPU WB:

(Non-reference PCB)

Fittings:

Want some black compression fittings

Rads:

No idea, a 240 mm + would be nice

My case can fit some larger rads.

Tubing:

Some nice red tubing.

IDC about size, mayb 12mm? IDK

Liquid:

WATER! I think.

Reservoir:

No idea.

Pump:

No idea.

 

Budget: I'm going to say under 500$.

No experience with this stuff so no idea what this stuff will cost. The blocks I have picked out cost about 220$ in total. So there's almost half the budget gone.

 

So basically I want suggestions on stuff I don't have picked out yet. As well as thoughts on what I DO have picked out. Mainly the Waterblocks.

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: Added budget

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Those blocks are great

Get Bitspower fittings if your budget allows

I'm not sure what rads your case can fit, but Alphacool rads are really good

Distilled water and some biocide or kill coil is best

Get whatever res you think looks best and fits (I don't know what fits) like the XSPC Photon

Get an EK D5 Vario pump with or without the pump top
