Any incompatible parts or recommendations for this loop?

I'm looking to put together a build in the next few moths and I just want to make sure I am not trying to connect a tube to a fitting that does not fit and to make sure that I am getting what is most recommended/wallet friendly parts. I will be cooling a GTX 970 WF3 and a FX-8370e (with plans to upgrade to an 4790k) in a Define S with all Venturi fans from Fractal.

 

Parts list:

 

EK DDC X-RES Top 100 w/ 3.2 PWM Pump

 

EK X3 Reservoir Replacement Tube - 250

 

Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 Full Copper Triple 120mm Radiator

 

Mayhems Pastel Coolant Concentrate - 250mL - Orange 

 

XSPC FLX Premium Grade PVC Tubing - 3/8" ID (5/8"OD) - 2 Meter (6.5 Feet)

 

EK Gigabyte GeForce 970 GTX WF3 VGA

 

Swiftech 8-Way PWM Cable Splitter

 

EK Supremacy EVO Universal CPU Liquid Cooling Block

 

Swiftech Lok-Seal™ Compression Fitting G1/4 Thread - 3/8" ID x 5/8" OD - Black

 

EK Gigabyte GTX 970 WF3 Backplate

 

I was also wondering how I would be able to drain the loop when it's time for maintenance

 

Thanks to all who help! :)

Another radiator. Also, i don't like those pumps. I'd go for a d5 if you can afford. Also, i'd recommend gentle typhoons over the venturis. Gentlye typhoons are still the best fans at medium to low rpms for radiator cooling and they are one of the quietest.
