Few Questions for first loop.

[Modus]

Hey Guys

 

I'd like to try out my first loop for a i7-6700k and a GTX 1080 FE. My case is a Corsair 650D which I believe can support a single 240 radiator on top. I already own a EK Supreme HF waterblock which I purchased for a i5-2500k a few years back but never got to use. I believe it should still be compatible.  

 

1) Will a single 240 radiator be enough for a OC'd (4.5+) i7-6700k and a moderate OC'd GTX 1080 FE? Should I add a single 180 radiator which I think I can fit in the front?

2) Are 180mm radiators available? I'm pretty sure the front of my case uses a large 180mm fan.

3)D5 pump seems to be the popular choice over a DCC pump, any reason why? also any suggestions for tube-res with pump top combo? Bitspower looks nice.

3) Any recommendations for fans? something good but affordable?

 

Thank you for the help and I'll leave my specs below.

The 650D front is 200mm there are one or two out options but not many, the 650D isn't really the best case unless your willing to modify it to fit the more common 120mm or 140mm rads as your selection of good 200mm fans are limited.

For the pump go with the D5 as it's operation if quiter and has higher flow rate but just slightly less head pressure as a trade off to the DDC.
