Help with first computer build (Water Cooled)

[Ali Alwan]

Part list

 

Updated Parts list

 

Aim:

 

A near silent beast gaming machine and can be used for general heavy usage (as an all round tinkerer).

 

Colour scheme:

 

Black, White, Blue and anything in-between.

 

Extra's:

 

2 SSD's in RAID 0 for speed, 2 RAID 1 HDD's for reliability 

 

The Rad's has a high FPI that would be considered bad for low RPM fans (which I plan on using) but it has an innovative fin design that allows a lot of airflow without needing high SP fans.

 

Concerns:

 

Fittings won't fit on every component

 

Pump might have odd connectors for power/tubing.

Are you sure you want to attempt custom water cooling on your first build? It's not ad easy as some people think.

I'm scared out of my wits but I have been watching Linus for over 2 years and have done a lot of research. I'm confident I could build an air cooled pc with ease, but this is going to be one heck of a challenge but one that I feel ready for. I just need people to go over my build and make sure I didn't miss any small detail that would set me back due to lack of experience.

Well it's one thing to do research and another to actually be hands-on doing it. I had probably built around 10 PCs before I built my first water cooled PC, even then it definitely wasn't easy. Just make sure you're really careful and don't underestimate anything.

Thanks, any comments on my concerns?

I'm in bed at 2am on my phone So it's kind of hard for me to check stuff. I'm sure some other people will jump in and help you out, if not I'll definitely do so tomorrow.

The build seems solid, the only concern I have is that I don't really know if you can fit a 480mm radiator inside that cage. Have you checked that the radiator fits and that you have enough free space/slots for the rest of the components?

I think you meant case, not cage. If so the case supports multiple 480mm Rads with ample clearance at the top from what I can tell.
