First Custom Loop - Opinions?

Planning on building my first custom loop and would like thoughts and opinions or objections. Will be doing a CPU+GPU loop, CPU is a 4790K and GPU is a Zotac GTX 980Ti AMP! Edition (NON EXTREME). My case is a Corsair Carbide Air 540 and I have a black and orange theme.

 

Parts List:

Splitter will be going onto the outlet of the pump (lowest part of the loop) with the fill port that will just act as a cap that can be removed for easy loop draining. Missing anything? Thoughts, opinions, or suggestions?

Seems to me that a 360 would be the bare minimum for this setup, assuming a not too aggressive overclock. If it is in your budget, throw in a 240 as well.  You should get better temps and quieter operation.

That looks to be good one thing I want to mention though is you only need a biocide or either a silver kill coil, but since your have nickel in your loop go with biocide since silver and nickel are borderline dis-similar metals in a loop environment which cause damage to the nickel plating.  Everything else looks about good, for the tubing if you can get thick walled stuff that stuff won't kink as easily as thin wall but is a bit more difficult to get over fittings during install.
