Looking to build a custom loop in my Nanoxia DS1 (http://www.nanoxia-world.com/product/1/1/Deep+Silence+1) and i just want to make sure im not overlooking anything before i drop the money on it.

Current case:
CPU: i5 4670K
Motherboard: ASRock Extreme 4 Z87
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP 2x8GB
CPU: MSI r9 290x (reference design)
Case: Nanoxia Deep Silence 1
Storage: Mushkin Enhanced Chronos 240GB
PSU: Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold

What Im looking to add:

Trying not to break the bank for this, but it seems like a more reasonable idea than just getting a H55 AIO cooler and one of those NZXT G10 brackets to cool the r9 290x.

Anything im missing? Better options for the blocks/rads i picked?

I'd personally add another radiator somewhere, but you could manage with 280mm. Make sure you have some way of draining/filling your loop though

 

I could add another rad either on the 140 exhaust out the back or in the 240 spot in the intakes i suppose if i need it. Im hoping that this will at least keep the temps down on my gpu for the summer as the stock cooler really isnt cutting it.

 

Ill have to find something for the drain port i suppose.

snipe

 

I personaly have said case and also have it watercooled and your best bet is to use 120.2 rad on the top (you can offset a 120.2 but not 140.2)and the front as you will have sufficient rad space to keep the fans on a lower speed. secondly i dont think that res/pump combo will be strong enough to push thru both blocks. your best bet is to get this combo would be a better one and i also have that combo too. 

 

what you could do is start with a CPU loop and then later on when you have the money to get the block for the GPU and another radiator but i would suggest getting a better pump like the one i linked

 

you can move the hard drive cages closer to the PSU which means you can fit a 120.2 60mm thick rad in push/pull with no issues
