First, I wouldn't use a combo pump/res. Tubing, fittings, and rad should be fine. But why not mount with screws instead of velcro?

Why a 180x2mm?

 

Why not 240mm/280mm?

Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

You'll need some fans and some destilled water, otherwise you're good. You can add a kill coil or a few drops of PTnuke later on, but I'd definitely do it. I've personally had bad experiences with XSPC tubing (inconsistent diameter, not very flexible and gave of plasticizer after a few weeks), but that doesn't mean you'll have the same issues, as my tubing was different. I'd still recommend PrimoChill.

 

Oh, and combos are hard to dampen, I'd invest in some sort of foam padding so that vibrations don't get passed on to your case.

A: bigger rad space

B: case is ft05, dual 180 on bottom

No vibrations, it will be mounted with Velcro of noise dampening foam so it's all good.

Fans, I have 2 ap181

Water, I'll get from the grocery store

I avoid combos if possible because it effectively doubles the chance of failure. And as said above, you will need fans for the radiator.

I mean, I don't really see the problem personally. It's just a bundle of a D5 Vario and a cylindrical reservoir.

O.o I disagree with this.  I buy combos when possible.

 

I recommend to keep the combo if those are the parts you want.

THIS IS MY SUPER TEENY TINY SIGNATURE!

Ain't it just the cutest little signature.

Some would argue it is the cutest little signature ever.

To me, what if the res leaks? It's happened to me, if the pump isn't insulated it could burn the pump, or worse, other components. But, different strokes for different folks.
