Watercooling required components

[For]

Planning to watercool my gaming rig after a CPU/mobo/ram upgrade. Need some people to check and make sure I have everything I need.

Going to watercool a haswell-e CPU once they are out along with the mobo assuming there will be an all in one block to cool both and a 7990 from a single front mounted 360/420 radiator, want to use a pump/tube res combo and soft tubing.

Budget is not an issue the goal is to get my PC watercooled, when gaming it doesn't have to be quiet but at idle I want it to be quiet which should be possible with PWN controlled fans via asus' AIsuite or maybe directly from the uefi.

 

Case: Fractal Design Define XL R2

Removed the optical bays and the little metal bar between the radiator mount area and the optical drives to make room for a 360 or 420 radiator.

CPU: intel 5820k

Mobo: Rampage 5 Extreme

Going to assume there will be an all in one waterblock for CPU/mobo for the R5E that'll need 2 fittings.

Ram: probably 4-8GB of generic as cheap as possible ddr4 that will be way overpriced because bleeding edge price premium.

GPU: asus 7990

Watercooled via EK 7990 block that I already have here because it might have gone out of stock before I'd have gotten the chance to buy it.

 

Pump/tube res combo: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16075/ex-res-366/Bitspower_Dual_Single_D5_Top_Upgrade_Kit_250_-_Clear_BP-D5TOPUK250AC-CLCL.html#blank

It says it doesn't come with a pump or pump top. What is a pump top/what does it do?

Which pump top is the one they use in the picture? Will this work with any D5 pump?

What else do I need to take into consideration to make this pump/tube res combo work?

 

Radiator + fans:

or http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16238/ex-rad-411/Alphacool_NexXxoS_Monsta_Triple_120mm_Radiator_-_80mm_Thick.html

120 or 140? I heard 120 has better fan options but I am probably going to get the noctua industrialPPC ones and if I recall they have pressure optimized fans for both 120 and 140mm.

Are there better fan options for thick rads like the monsta? The reason I am going with the monsta is because I'll have to cool quite a bit with just one radiator and even though I am not overclocking anything cool components are still nice to have.

Also since I won't need HDDs (going for either a ghetto mounted ssd behind the mobo or an m2 ssd) or 5.25 inch bays I have all the room in the front for an 80mm thick rad.

Getting a second radiator to mount on the top of the case is not an option I want to stick with one big radiator in the front.

 

Fittings and order of the loop:

best I could come up with was: rad -> res/pump -> CPU/mobo -> GPU -> rad

But that would require a long tube from the pump going behind the radiator to the CPU/mobo block as well as a long-ish tube from the GPU to the radiator.

Alternatively I could do: rad -> CPU/mobo -> GPU -> res/pump -> rad

This way I have 3 medium sized tubes going from the GPU to the res, the pump to the rad and the rad to the CPU.

If I were to choose the latter I could also get a smaller pump/tube res combo (the 150 instead of 250) so that the GPU -> res tube would be a straight horizontal line.

 

As far as fittings go I was thinking of going with these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/10032/ex-tub-600/Bitspower_G14_Thread_14_ID_x_38_OD_Compression_Fitting_-_Matte_Black_BP-MBCPF-CC1.html

Depending on the loop I'd need a few 45/90 degree fittings or maybe even 30/60 so I haven't bothered to check which ones I need because maybe one of you guys knows a better loop order.

If I am correct I'd need 8 fittings in total (2 CPU/mobo, 2 GPU, 1 res in, 1 pump out, 2 rad) or do I need one of those SLI fittings to connect the res/pump as well?

 

I haven't thought of how I am going to mount the pump/res yet I'd guess my best option is to mount it on the rad with one of those adapter brackets? Which other options do I have?

Any tips, hints or other things I should think about are appreciated.
