For my first ever system build I have decided to go all out and have it Liquid cooled  so I am wondering if you can help me select what radiators and other LC equipment I should get

so far i have chosen 

CPU http://www.candccent...r-cpu-380i.html

Nice sleek and stylish block

 

GPU http://www.watercool...etal_38862.html

I like the bull PCB coverage and look of it

 

Radiators

Read the two stickies at the top of this forum section. They will help you decide what you want. After you decide tell us what you decided to buy and we can tell you if they were good or bad decisions.

Feel free to PM for any water-cooling questions. Check out my profile for more ways to contact me.

Just get a pump res combo unit. One of the XSPC ones that go in two 5.25 bays will work just fine for this.

The radiator in the back is useless for something like this. I recommend using just the 2 240 rads. NF-F12s are the best for PWM rads

 

A raystrom should be fine for the cpu block

WHOAH slow down. Remember the silicon is a lottery! So if you need sometyhing up there its gonna be very hard to get. Otherwise just get a sandy bridge

what do you think the cpu will go to then?

 

Average high clocks are around 4.8 . That's the most common high overclock I see.

Anyone know of a good place I can get good quality and trusted LC components in the UK

The ones in the stickies are us

Nope there's a list of UK suppliers in both.

What is the best pump to get?

Any Laing pump. They come in two versions the D5 and the DDC. The D5 is slightly more powerful, quieter and bigger.

I think I will get this http://www.candccentral.co.uk/swiftech-maelstrom-5-1-4-dual-bay-reservoir-with-2-x-mcp35x-ddc-pwm-pumps-maelstrom35x2.html

 Pump the tubing probably not going to be decided until I built the computer and then I will be able to see exactly if I want strait or curved tubing altho I am thinking of strait at the moment going from the receiver to radiator #1 to the GTX780 to the CPU to radiator#3 then to the second and back to the reservoir
