How much more do you think I would need I already assumed there would be a learning curve for bending the tube

no idea some people get it right a way some people can use feet and feet of tubeing

just doing 90 degree bends its might not be too bad. i watch j2cents for videos on it.

Greg Salaza on youtube aslo did a video on it long time ago and he went thow alot of tubing.

I'll get a few extra packs of tubing.

 

Do you think everything else is good?

Which loop option do you think I should go with my current setup?

I would go with config Option #1 but have the drain port on the OUT port on the pump, or one of the ports on the side mounted radiator.

Personally, I would use the bottom for top-to-bottom system airflow. Just fans, no radiator.

 

You can also consider flipping the side mounted radiator so the in/out ports are at the top.

Then have the pump directly feed coolant to the GPU.

Pump -> (Drain Port) -> GPU -> CPU -> Radiator 1 -> Radiator 2 -> Radiator 3 -> (Back to pump)
