Looking at these parts, any tips?

[Phrozyn]

First time water cooling here. I've looked at various videos and read various lines of text.

 

So I plan on getting
 

• EK Supremacy Universal CPU Liquid Cooling Block - Clean Nickel + Red Acrylic (EK-Supremacy RED Clean CSQ - Nickel)
• EK GeForce 780 GTX Ti VGA Liquid Cooling Block - Nickel + Acetal (EK-FC780 GTX Ti - Acetal+Nickel)
• EK GTX Titan / 780 / 780 Ti / 770 VGA Liquid Cooling RAM Backplate - Black (EK-FC780 GTX Ti Backplate - Black)
• EK D5 X-RES Top 100 w/ D5 Vario Pump (EK-D5 Vario X-RES 100 (incl. pump))
• EK Ultimate Performance CoolStream 360 XTX Series Liquid Cooling Radiator (EK-CoolStream RAD XTX (360))
• Bitspower G1/4 Thread 3/8" ID x 1/2" OD Compression Fitting - Silver (BP-CPF-CC2)
• PrimoChill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Tubing 3/8"ID x 1/2" OD - 10ft Retail Pack - Bloodshed Red (PFLEXA10-12-R) w/ Free Sys Prep
• Kill Coil? / Mounting Stuff (Still deciding how I want to position my Res/Pump)
• What fans to get? Was looking at Corsair SP120s, seem fairly cheap and good.

 

A brief list of my PC parts I currently have

• NZXT H440 (Black/Red)
• Intel 4790k
• MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming 3G
• MSI Z97 Gaming 7

 

Going to be buying my water cooling parts soon. Was just wondering if there are any problems/issues I might have overlooked.

@Phrozyn You could place your res below the back exhaust fan, where the two watercooling holes are, but mount it where the little grills are.

Seems like it's gonna be an epic rig.

Personally I'd go with 1/2 ID 3/4 OD. Other components and brands are great! You could place the pump/res combo in front of the 360 mm rad (I'd get an Alphacool ST30 240mm in top too, budget permitting of course). Have a look at a monsoon silver res plug, no annoying kill coil floating around in your res. If you want to maintain one of the main advantages of custom loop, quietness, I would spend some more and get NB E-loops or Noctua NF-F12's. Budget permitting of course, Corsair SP's are loud.

Does that mean mounting the res sideways?

I actually just noticed that monsoon silver plug, will be using that instead. I do plan on putting another rad up top, the spacing seems a bit tough though. I think I am going to try for the NB E-Loops, I really prefer quiet systems.

I've been following this other WC build log in a H440. Altho it's a tight fit, a ST30 with push E-loops should fit depending on the motherboard port orientation. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/180241-h440-water-cooling-build/#entry2427231
