New to Water Cooling looking for some recommendations

Hi,

This is my first attempt at spec’n out and building a custom water cooling system I've read through the water cooling 101 post.  I have some questions about putting together a water cooling system for a pc that I’m building and plan to overclock.  Below is the list of the pc hardware;

  • ·         ASUS|MAXIMUS VI EXTREME Z87 R MoBo
  • ·         CPU INTEL|CORE I7 4770K 3.5G 4C 8M
  • ·         MB ASUS|MAXIMUS VI EXTREME Z87 R
  • ·         VGA ASUS| Geforce GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 2G RT (2 in SLI)
  • ·         MEM 4x8G|CORSAIR CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R
  • ·         Case Cooler Master HAF X

My initial goals are cooling the CPU and GPU and later maybe the RAM and motherboard.  I have a budget of $350.00 to$ 500.00. So far I have looked at the following water cooling components;    I would appreciate any suggestions for improvements to these components or anything I over looked.

  • ·        Water Block EK Supremacy Clean CSQ
  • ·        Pump Swiftech MCP35X or MCP655
  • ·        RAD Alphacool NEXXXOS ST3 120mm
  • ·        RES Primo Chill CTR
  • ·        Tubing PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 1/2in. x 3/4in. Tubing (10ft pack) - Bloodshed Red
  • ·        Compression fittings
  • ·        Kit EK H30 240 HFX

My Questions are:

1.       Which is a better option for the pump

2.       What is a good brand of premixed coolant

3.       Can the Corsair Vengeance RAm be water cooled?

4.       Does anyone currently make water blocks for the ASUS Maximus VI extreme and the GTX 760

5.       Can you recommend a good brand of compression fittings

6.       Any recommendations for a system that improves upon what I have listed within the budget would also be appreciated

1. Any Liang pump is good

2. Mayhams check this page as there may be tubing incompatibilities http://www.mayhems.co.uk/front/

3.Yes remove the heatsink

4. Yes EK makes them http://www.tomshardware.com/news/EKWB-Water-Block-GTX-760,23310.html

5. Doesn't matter I personally like bittspower or swifttech if you think bittspowers too expensive
