I am doing a custom water loop for the first time in my upcoming build. I plan on using the CM Storm Stryker case for this new setup. I did tons of research and finally found all of the materials I would need for this setup. Now I just need a little insight on the parts I gathered for this setup. I will only be cooling my CPU for now but I plan on watercooling my GPU in the future. Any recommendations would be great.

Agreed, rather go with distilled water and get color tubing

I would use blue tubing and I wouldn't add dye in my coolant imo.

Anything else is should change. I did hear that the colored coolant stains your waterblock I just wanted the eye candy  ;)xD
