I would set up the fans for pull, not push. That way dust doesn't become stuck between the fans and the rad.

 

Besides that, the components look fine to me. (Not an expert at the parts)

I have never owned a desktop but here goes my $.02.

 

Set up the front and rear fans to push air into the case, and have all radiator fans PULL air out of the case (not sure if possible).

Better set up would be to have the bottom rad pulling air into the case through the Radiator.

Positive pressure :)

Agree..

 

Also...  planning angle fittings is a bad idea. Most places you cannot return them. Just buy a few of each as you may find your imaged angles are way off or not what you need. So, but a few to start, and then if you need more, you will know exactly what you need. Might have to wait a bit longer for them to come in, but could save you a few bucks in the long run.

Yay positive pressure. I think my setup would have created neutral pressure.

 

But yes, positive pressure is key. It will keep dust out of your system.

 

 

For the love of whatever you believe in... (Linus Sebastian)

do pull. It keeps dust out of the radiator fins.

Ok, I'll do pull even if that means looking at those ugly Noctua's...

And I'll just get one 90 degree and one 45 degree fitting to plan it out properly.

Thanks for the help everyone

Anybody see any problems with the other parts?

 

Oh and yes @nj4ck I'll do a build log with lots of pictures :)

You forgot to put direction of the flow.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious. The coolant from the reservoir always has to go directly to the pump, so this has to be the order:

Reservoir --> Pump --> Bottom Rad --> GPU --> Top Rad --> CPU

yes that flow is acceptable.
