Hey, So ive decided to upgrade my now air cooling to a water cooling system and I'd like some help with picking out what i want.

I want to water cool my GPU & CPU that according to google add up to about 450w TDP (after overclock). I'm running a i7 4770k and a GTX 780.

I need suggestions for pumps (does TDP effect choice of pump?) and rad(s). Ive heard its best running one more rad than u have blocks but i dont know. Was leaning towards a dual 120mm + single 120. Cause i cant fit 140. Noctua NF-F12 is what i had in mind for fans, opinions?

Case is a: Cooler Master storm scout II advance

All answers appreciated

TDP determines rads needed. It looks like the Storm Scout II Advanced can have a dual 120mm in the top and front. Go for that. 

 

Pump: Swiftech MCP655 PWM or Alphacool D5 Vario (good for expanding in the future at which point you'll need more rads and a better case IMO) or a DDC pump.
