So I already have the case this could be in, the Silverstone Raven RVZ01. I measured and looked inside my case, the 240mm rad will fit. Worst case I will externally mount the fans. So, do you think this setup would work?

Pump - Check

Res - Check

Tubing - Check

Coolant - Check

Fittings - Check

CPU block - Check

GPU block - Check

Fans - Check

get a thicker rad if you're only going to use a single 240mm

Agreed, if you are cooling a CPU and a GPU with a 240mm radiator I'd definitely recommend that you get the thickest radiator that circumstances allow for.

get 3/8" tubing, since that has a shorter turn radius, 1/2" has a tendency to kink quicker

 

also, rad + res combos tend to have a longer length then normal rads, so id check if you have enough clearance in your case

There is two cpu blocks on the list, the xspc one and the swiftech pump and cpu block combo? or am i reading wrong..

 

 also there is not enough fittings :)

Well a thicker rad won't fit, so what if I got a radiator with an integrated pump and res, then add a 120mm radiator above the CPU block? I'd have to externally mount the fan.

So this:

yeah there's a lot of space to the side of the fan mounts. good idea with the tubing.

What case are you using? I'd invest in a more water-cooling optimised case first before dropping $600 on a custom loop.

Check OP, but Silverstone RVZ01 :)

My bad! :P

 

OP: If your case doesn't support the water cooling your looking at doing then I'd either stick with air cooling or invest in a new case.

I think my case does support the watercooling I want, and would be one of the smallest watercooled computers which would be really cool.

Close, but i'm not sure your fittings will fit with your tubing :)
