Custom Loop Compatibility

So I plan on doing my first custom loop, and wanted to do a quick sanity check. Specifically wanting to make sure that every thing will fit.

 

My case is a Cooler Master HAF XB EVO: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/lan-box-haf-series/haf-xb-evo

 

Loop components:

 

Alphacool NexXxoS Cool Answer 240 LT/ST - kit:  http://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/kits-und-systems/internal-kits/13669/alphacool-nexxxos-cool-answer-240-lt/st-kit

Alphacool NexXxoS ST30 Full Copper 120mm:   http://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/radiators/radiators-active/12338/alphacool-nexxxos-st30-full-copper-120mm

13/10mm (10x1,5mm) compression fitting G1/4 - compact - matte black: http://www.aquatuning.us/water-cooling/fittings/compression-fittings/1310mm/13967/13/10mm-10x1-5mm-compression-fitting-g1/4-compact-matte-black

 

The Kit comes with everything I would need, but i wanted one more rad, so I'm adding that and fittings for it.

 

The plan is to go from the res/pump unit up to the dual 120 rad in the front along the left side of the MB tray, then from there to the CPU block (note: I plan on leaving extra tubing going over my current GPU so I can integrate that into the loop in the future), from the CPU block then to the rear 120 rad, then back to the res by going along the right side and under the MB tray.

 

The front rad will be in a push config getting fresh air from the front of the case, and the rear rad with be in a pull config as exhaust.

 

Total loop cost w/ shipping : approx. $230 USD

If you want a custom loop then do it with quality parts otherwise just get a sealed AIO or an expandable one like Swiftech H240x.

 

The waterblock included in that kit is mediocre and the pump doesn't look very quiet (no variable adjustment), strong and durable.

Yeah, we're all just a bunch of idiots experiencing nothing more than the placebo effect.

What makes you say the block is mediocre? From what I've seen on Overclock.net it seems to be actually a pretty good block. Also the pump does come with an adapter for 5 or 7 volt operation which i can use to quiet it down, plus I not too worried about noise anyway (my room is near our AC unit which is already pretty loud).
