I'm new at water loop building. I have a plan I want to run by someone with more experience. This is what I would like to do...

Swiftech maelstrom with mcp50x pump > black ice 240gtx > ray storm (cpu) > Xspc vga block 980 gtx > (WHERE IM LOST) photon resv (cosmetic) > black ice gtx 120 >. Back to bay res (maelstrom)

What I'm confused about is do I need another pump after the photon resv to get through the 2ns radiator and then back up to the bay resv ?

Thank you !

you only need one pump, and it should be below and right after the resevoir (so that the pump sucks from the res)

 

you can just buy a watercooling kit from XSPC or EK which will have all the parts you need

That pump should be enough for that loop. I have a RX360mm, RX240mm, plus a cpu and vga block running off a single EK 2.2 pump just fine. Also with the second XSPC res, just be careful which inlet/outlet ports you use. Im sure you don't want the entire thing filling up with coolant to the top, that never looks good on a tube res imo.
