Finally going to watercool my PC!

Hey guys,So i've received a nice amount of money recently and i'd like to watercool my system.

I've been wanting to do this for a very long time and have watched a lot of videos on starting for beginners and my farther will be helping me also.

I'm also wondering if it's worth spending a little extra to watercool my motherboard with the included hybrid Air/watercooling.

It's the Asus Maximus VII formula btw.

I'll provide links to my current setup and will give the H100i to my brother.

I7 4970K http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-539-IN
Corsair h100i http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-015-CS
Asus Maximus VII formula http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-623-AS
Corsair Dominator platinum 16GB http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-394-CS (1600MHZ version
EVGA GTX 780 Classified (Can't provide link as OCUK doesn't sell them anymore.
Corsair AX850 PSU (OCUK doesn't sell any more)
Corsair Air 540 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-143-CS
2x Samsung 840 500gb evo SSD http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-169-SA

Just wondering if anybody could give me a little hand with picking the parts.

Got a budget of £400 and would like Red fluid also because i've got a Red and black theme going.

Would really appreciate all the help i can get.

Thanks guys

Jamie

Here's a top end watercooling loop for you. The use of the Red primochill tubing means you can use just distilled water in the loop but if you would want the blocks to appear red also then you could change this for clear tubing and get blood red pastel Mayhems.

Edit: You would still need to add 5-10 fans to this build and the coolant. SP120 fans from corsair are probably best (and they come with a Red ring for the looks)

YOUR BASKET
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-DDC 3.2 PWM X-RES 140 £99.95
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-FC780 GTX Classified - Nickel £89.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy EVO - Nickel £52.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-CoolStream PE 360 (Triple) £49.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-CoolStream PE 240 (Dual) £39.95
4 x Primochill Primoflex Advanced Tubing 16/11 - Red £5.99 (£23.96)
10 x EK Water Blocks EK-CSQ Fitting 16/11mm G1/4 - Nickel £5.99 (£59.90)
Total : £426.30 (includes shipping : £8.00).

Half of those things are OOS.
So if you're ordering from OCUK your order might be held back until stock lands.
Also you may need more than 1m of tubing as well as more than 1L of coolant.
