Well I'd be a bit reluctant to watercool current AMD processors since they don't benefit as much as many Intel CPUs. If you still want to do it, you may want to consider 3/8 ID, 5/8 OD tubing since it generally looks better and is less susceptible to kinking. Not sure what CPU you're going to be watercooling, but you might want to consider a 3x120mm radiator.

I'm cooling a FX-6100 it is OC'd though+ I'm mostly doing this for fun/looks, I don't think my NZXT Phantom could fit a rad that size though:/

[redhalo626]

I'm kinda skeptical about the pump, but i can't really afford anything else.

imo go for an rx series rad from xspc...a 60mm thick 240..IF YOUR CASE CAN FIT IT!!! lolz

also there was a dude that was selling ddc pumps for 30$$ or so...he was on ocn forums...cant remember the website he linked for the life of me....imo the ddc pumps are the 2nd best comp to the d5

also you can think about modding...since the phantom has a plastic top and front...you dont have to worry about making clean cuts :D

[redhalo626]

Yeah i think i might go for a thicker rad if i can afford it.

[airdeano]

that'd be "maverick" on the DDC pumps on OCN.

 

tbh, you are correct on the pump be skeptical.. move to the DDC or D5 if possibly

adding a GPU to the loop in the future. you can afford it, might tale a bit longer to

save for it, but in the long run it'd be a better build if the thicker can be used.

what fans are you looking to?

Right now i'm thinking of getting 

Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition

I did some research on some of those super cheap DDCs on eBay/some forums and found out that they all are an older revision with a higher fail rate, some noise problems a shorter lifetime and possibly even incompatibility with some tops due to a slightly different form/PCB
