Could use some insight on a loop.

[CallmeButters]

I'm pretty new to water cooling and i wanted some insight on a loop i am thinking about. This is all gonna be put in to a NZXT Switch 810 case. 

So my idea is for the rad is a Swiftech MCR-X20 triple rad without the pump and for the pump the Apogee Drive II. I will also be adding a Alphacool NexXxos UT60 Full Copper Dual 120mm Radiator to the front, so my idea is kinda like a AIO loop.

The Apogee Drive II is not that great, although I could be wrong. What I recommend is to just get a bay pump and res combo. You will need a res in your loop anyway unless you want some issues filling it.

The first thing you should check is for clearance especiallly with the top mounted rad. I haven't worked with the Switch 810 personally, so I can't give you any measurements. After you have check for clearancem i would advice you to take a picture of the inside of your case, and then draw the tubing route on the picture in Paint, or another equivalent program, just to get a plan of the routing. But all in all the parts you have choosen are solid. I do however have my doubts about whether or not the Apogee Drive II is powerfull enough to drive the setup. Maybe look into getting an Apogee HD and a separate pump

There is enough clearance for a 60mm radiator, (maybe even a 80 depending on VRM and RAM,) if you mount the fans on top of the radiator inside the "fan compartment"

Ok, I only said because i didn't check for clearance when i build my loop, and i had to return one of the rafiators, so it has just been a rule of thump for me to always double or triple check for clearence.

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. By bay pump and res combo do you mean something like this.

Yes except that's ridiculously expensive and over powered for most loops.

So i should just get the single pump version.

Yup. I may have mentioned it before but just make sure you get a laing pump. As long as you get a laing pump and reservoir you can get as low a price as possible. Laing pumps come in two flavour's, the D5 and DDC, the D5 is more expensive, bigger, quieter and slightly better.

Okay, thank you very much for your help.
