Help!! complete beginner

Before you do that see what ghost thinks you should get. He's really knowledgeable when it comes to these fittings. 

 

I wanted to give you an idea what kinds of fittings you should be looking at. You want to try and make straight lines from each thing as best as you can. It's a pain trying to curve tubing around to a straight fitting instead of just having the fitting pointing where it needs to be. 

 

Try to visualize as best as you can how the tube will be ran from each part. Every case is slightly different when running things. 

 

Also, if you add another radiator you'll need to change some of the fittings at the top. 

 

Don't forget you need fittings for the top radiator. 

wudd these work also for the tubing to be straight.......  http://www.frozencpu.com/products/17831/ex-tub-1595/EK_CSQ_G14_Thread_90_Fitting_Adapter_-_Black_EK-CSQ_Adapter_90_G14_Black.html

ok this is new set up now running Ek coolstream 240 rads x2 one in top and one in front..

 

prolly still not enough and deffo not enough for a second 780 in the future.

minimum would be 2x 240 x60 for CPU and single GPU loop and that's questionable

with the reports of haswell temperatures during overclocking.

 

just the CPU @ 4.6GHz loaded on AIDA64 and H100i with NF-F12 is 75°. the

thicker radiator will lower that by 12°-16°, but then toss a 250w TDP GPU on top

of all that and you might squeak by on mid 60° temps. you will need some awesome

case air-flow and fans that might be a little louder to keep something like that cool..

just an observation from experience..

Maybe you should just get a sandy bridge or ivy bridge CPU so you don't need so much radiator to cool it. Plus, the 2600k still overclocks better then most of these newer chips that replaced it.

I'm very happy with my 2600k and I don't feel a need to upgrade anytime soon. The performance is still on par with Haswell minus the PCIe 3.0 with doesn't really matter right now anyways.

That is just an adapter so you'll still need to put a fitting on the end if it for your tube size. Try to find 90 degree fittings for your tube size so you can save some money.

If you could draw out a diagram of how everything will be installed I could give you a much better idea on what kinds of fittings you should use on everything.

I'm going to be rebuilding my computer all day tomorrow so I'll try to hop on and help you out or somebody could help you find the correct fittings. If you could draw a diagram inside the case that would be very helpful.

Sorry I was mixed up with another guy. All the fittings I suggested on the first page should be what you need to keep the tubing in straight runs. I don't know about the extender for the pump/ res since I'm not sure how far the reservoir will come out of the optical bay. I had one and it was kinda far in the bay so that's why I suggested the extender to push it out enough to use a 90 degree fitting to make a straight shot to the 90degree fitting on the radiator.
