First Custom Loop Help.

Chessel · April 15, 2015

Title!

I'm planning on doing a small loop for my CPU.

I'm doing a RoG theme build for this one.

I've already chosen a waterblock (Swiftech APOGEE XL PPCS Custom ROG Edition), but everything else is just really confusing for me. I want to have a cylinder reservoir, and a so far am only planning a 240 RAD on the top.

I want to try to spend under $300 (CAD) so far. If it comes to light that I'm a complete idiot and it's a waste of money, I will probably add the GPU to the loop and the budget will slightly go up.

Here is my build so far...
