Currently my pc at work is very functional not pretty, I am ditching my 3930k system so this one is coming home with me, I need to make it shiny.

Prepare you eyeballs, you were warned

Spec atm is....

Case is a Corsair 760t which has an AX360 radiator with 3x akasa apaches exhausting out of the top, a heatkiller3 cooling the 4790k, a D5 vario and some random res tube, also 2x SP140s at the front, I wish to add in a waterblock for the titan x and make it nice and futureproof for when i add a second gpu later (no more jubilee clips!)

Is it worth ditching the 360 for something better? also I am moving the mech HDDs to my server so the cage will be going and I can fit a 240 at the front, or maybe one at the bottom if i move the pump(would I need different fans for this?)

ps. I was hoping to use those nice monsoon compression fittings like this

I also need some shiny fluid and new tubing, ideally I dont want to blow more than £350 doing this inc the titan block and backplate(how would you guys do it?

I would keep the AX360 and just add a 240 at the front. Take your pick of the Mayhems premix fluids which all have the anti-corrosion/anti fungal additives already added so you don't need silver kill coils or any other additive. Pick your own choice of compression fittings and either of these blocks for the Titan X:-

YOUR BASKET
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-FC Titan X - Acetal+Nickel £89.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-FC Titan X - Nickel £89.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-FC Titan X £84.95
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-FC Titan X - Acetal £84.95
1 x Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GTX-Lite 240 £24.98

I added a 240mm rad to that as well because that's a cracking price if you can fit it at the front. If you are going to buy the Monsoon fittings then buy the six pack and save a fiver.

Those fans will be fine. The description says they are designed for radiators/heatsinks even though the Static Pressure (mm/H2O): 1.17 seems rather low to me. CFM looks low for a 140mm fan too.
