First time building my own rig

I'm only doing the CPU for now,will add a loop for the GPU's at a later date.

Will be fitted into a NZXT Switch 810.

All help and comments appreciated,this will be my first loop

I would change the Pump-RES combo!

EDIT:
Your tubing and fittings do not match!

Thanks,sorted
which combo then?

 

[Avathar77]

bat RES is not my thing
But if you must go that way have a look at THIS

It has a far better pump!

 

[whyscotty]

had a look at that just thought it was overkill,
but then again would i be able to cool 3 x 680's if i added a thick 240 rad into the loop
or would you have two seperate loops?

That looks good - just add fluid

(and yes, add a thick 240 and it will cool 3 x 680's)

 

[whyscotty]

Already got , thanks

Nice Scotty looking good m8 what colour fluid???
I'll have my finished pics soon with it up and running

 

[whyscotty]

No colour to the fluid as gone for coloured UV reactive tubing,
was going to get white but changed to red.

Have you got your trust set up as probably need some help along the line
if you don't mind.

Changed the block to this

XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock (Intel) Copper

If you haven't handled a copper block before, please don't touch the copper parts with bare(dirty/oily/sweaty) hands!(Tarnish) I learned the hard way and swore never to go for copper blocks again

 

[whyscotty]

Thanks for the heads up,
Must admit though it does look good

 

[whyscotty]

Thermal paste-
would you use the K2 what came with the Block or
Artic Silver 5 as i have both now?

 

[fantasticCG]

Did you buy a fan controller? Or fan extension cables?, I had to get the cables so it would reach the fan controller
Nice cabling

 

[Avathar77]

Haven't used either of them, but from reviews they both seems similar in terms of performance.
If you have some IPA(or nail polish remover) you can try applying them and see which is better in terms of spreading.
