I want to install a custom loop for my cpu only. Something like this: http://i47.tinypic.com/289g7jt.jpg

 

Are there any kits, or do I need to purchase everything separate? Also, it would be my first time installing a custom loop so, if anyone has any tips please leave those too.

You can get EK kits im pretty sure which contain everything you need to do it.

 

P.S who even uses tinypic anymore, imgur is 100x better

yes there are kits, like these:

However EK also do a series of AIOs that are basically pre-built custom loops (it does remove the fun of building it yourself, so if that's the aim ignore them): https://shop.ekwb.com/aio

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 > 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

"The Orange Box" || CPU: i5 4690k || RAM: Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB || Case: Aerocool DS200 (Orange) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate || Storage: Kingston SSDNow V300 240GB + WD Black 1TB || PSU: Corsair RM750 || Mobo: ASUS Z97-A || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+

"Unnamed Form Factor Switch" || CPU: i7 6700K || RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB || Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX (White) || Cooler: Cryorig R1 Ultimate (Green Cover) || Storage: Samsung 850 Evo 1TB || PSU: XFX XTR 550W || Mobo: ASUS Z170I Pro Gaming || GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW+

You can get kits like from EKWB such as this:

https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-kit-l240-1

 

If you want to later on integrate you can purchase a waterblock for the GPU and some extra fittings into the loop but it would be highly suggested to then add an extra set of rads.

There are kits that will have everything you need. 

Your not going to get a setup like in that photo with a  kit though.

Yeah, I'm liking the x240. It's almost $400 bucks but I'm sure it's well worth it. https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-kit-x240

 

It's about the price range of watercooling equipment, the kits are usually a better deal than say getting the parts individually.
