Well after a year I've finally got around to sorting out the loop for my current pc, have the 4770k with the asus maximus vi formula with the stock intel cooler giving 90oC when doing much more demanding task than general net browsing, etc.

I already have most of the parts, the ones I need are tubing, fittings and coolant. not sure if I should get a new radiator, currently have a several year old xspc thin radiator.

YOUR BASKET
1 x OcUK Tech Labs Radiator Bundle - Hardware Labs Black ICE SR1 360 + 3x Silverstone SST-FQ121 Watercooling Optimised Fans £69.95
2 x Monsoon 13/10mm (ID 3/8 OD 1/2) Free Center Compression Fitting Six Pack - Red £24.95 (£49.90)
1 x Mayhems Pastel - Red Coolant 1L £14.99
1 x Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 13/10 - Clear £5.99
Total : £150.42 (includes shipping : £8.00).



not sure if I should go monsoon fittings, also trying to decide if I should go with 1/2" tubing or go one size down.
was looking at this a several days back and they had he tubing and coolant in stock but currently saying out of stock.

will be cooling a 4770k as already mentioned, have a 290x reference cooler and as the motherboard has built in waterblock will also be adding that to the loop. planning on some overclocking but not going to go crazy.
 
Fitting are fitting buy what match's your budget.
there is no reason not to buy what you have linked, i think the boards cooling is 3/8 so you would need 3/8(10mm) tube

Have to double check but I think the motherboard has the standard g1/4 'screw', so you can use whatever fitting you want.
I like the look of the new 'machine gun' monsoon fittings but those will be £10 more as they're a 4 pack and I'll be needing 10 fittings so 2x 4 pack plus 2 extra.

your right it dose have 2x 1/4g fitting.
 
Forgot to ask if it'd be better to an angle fitting(90o) going from cpu block to the motherboard block or go the U bend tubing?

750d, as I said its a thin xspc radiator forgot to mention its a triple rad(360). Not sure what the model was, rs360 I think.
