Save money on this water cooling loop?

[HiGuyz]

I made a new loop and i am looking for advice on what to change or remove from this loop. My budget is £200 for the loop. https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/shared/oW5b5ebe11a62a7

Why don't you just buy the Fluid Gaming Kit? Just can't mix it with normal copper water cooling parts, only other aluminum parts.

I plan to delid the CPU and cool the GPU as well in the future and copper is easier since you can mix it. I also will be using liquid metal(as adhsesive)

Not worth using liquid metal on top of the IHS

They have aluminum radiators for sale to expand it and Nvidia/AMD GPU blocks for reference boards.

ok. EK says that aluminium has only 0.5 the conductivey of copper. Would I be better off buying a NZST Kraken AIO and upgrading later?

The Fluid Gaming kits work fine for cooling

 

NZXT AIOS are typically overpriced better off with EVGA/Corsair/Fractal or someone like that.
