I want to set up a custom loop, but I don't know which parts to buy. Could someone set me up a full loop with all the links if possible? 

I want to cool:

2 MSI GTX 970's

i7-4790k

 

I would prefer 2 360 rads. 

 

My case is an NZXT H440.

 

I would really appreciate it if someone could help!

@Kryptic BladeZz, here's what  I've come up with:

 

CPU Block - http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-supremacy-mx-cpu-waterblock-acetal.html

GPU Block - http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-fc970-gtx-tf5-full-cover-waterblock-nickel-acetal.html(X2)

Rads - http://www.performance-pcs.com/new-xspc-ex360-crossflow-series-copper-triple-fan-radiator.html(X2)

Pump + Res - http://www.performance-pcs.com/ek-xres-140-d5-vario-incl-pump.html

Tubing - http://www.performance-pcs.com/primoflex-b-advanced-lrt-10ft-b-tubing-3-8in-id-x-1-2in-od-onyx-black.html

Fans - http://www.performance-pcs.com/noiseblocker-nb-eloop-b12-ps-120mm-x-25mm-ultra-silent-bionic-blade-pwm-fan-400-1500-rpm.html(X6)

Total = $739.65 (Without fittings)

 

 

Fittings - http://www.performance-pcs.com/fittings-connectors

(Fittings will be a personal choice once you know how you want to run the tubing.)

Good list. I would say those fans are great, but if you want to save a little you might consider something like these:

http://www.performance-pcs.com/swiftech-helix-120mm-9-blade-z-bearing-fan-1800rpm.html

And personally I prefer 3/8 by 5/8 tubing as I think 1/2OD looks really fat. Thats my opinion though, but I also thought it was easier to work with and get into tight spaces and tight bends.

http://www.performance-pcs.com/primoflex-b-advanced-lrt-10ft-b-tubing-3-8in-id-x-5-8in-od-crystal-clear.html

comes in all colours too. Primochill advanced LRT is the best soft tube.

True about the fans, I suggested them mainly because they can run a really low RPMs. Yeah good call on the tubing yours is more aesthetically pleasing too.

i personal like the ekwb vardar http://www.performance-pcs.com/ekwb-fans/ek-vardar-f4-120-2200rpm-high-performance-liquid-cooling-fan.htmlKryptic BladeZz for the gpu block if you want to see the fluid get the plex one http://www.performance-pcs.com/water-blocks-gpu/ek-fc970-gtx-tf5-full-cover-waterblock-nickel-plexi.htmlim going with you have the msi 970 with the red stock cooler not he green or yellow

 

for a fan controller look at the stuff from aquacomputer there aquero line 5LT ,6  http://www.performance-pcs.com/accessories-misc/aquacomputer-aquaero-5-lt-usb-fan-controller.html   http://www.performance-pcs.com/accessories-misc/aquacomputer-aquaero-6-pro-usb-fan-controller-grafik-lcd.htmlif you do go with these order from aquacomputer in germany its about half the price as perf-pcs. since they dont  lower it as the exchange rate changed in our favor . i will soon have 9 fans running off the pwm header  plus about 6 others total on the other 3 channels . they also have other nice things flow sensor pressure ones res lvl meters . the temp sensors they have  i would get its nice way to see if your loop is doing fine since if the temps just 20c in a year the rads might be a bit dirty  or your pump might be failing ect as examples
