Id ditch the swiffy block for a Maze4 or MP-01, assuming its anodised aluminium and has as fiddly a fit as the MCW50 did. If things have improved, go for it, but IMHO the Maze4 / MP-01 are much better thought out kits :)

Otherwise, will be spiffing :D
 
it was me who recommended the parts to torrentthief, i have a maze4 gpu block but i recommended the swiftech block as the chipset heatsink on the ds4 mobo gets in the way of one of the retension springs for the block. I aint used the swiftech block but from the looks of things it should fit fine
 
Never had XPSC tubing but masterkleer 7/16 can be had for a fraction of the cost (under £1/m) and is really good stuff, very flexible and (touches wood) no staining. As you are cooling the video card routing the tubing can be a pain a kinking can be a problem...another plus point for using masterkleer imo. I personally prefer the mcw60 fitting to the maze 4 as the static legs of the maze4 can get snagged on the pcb where as the mcw is a little easier to fit.

Other than that it looks like a very good setup, post up some pics when your done..

Thermochill PA120.2 - £45 - If this is new... where???? These sell for between £50-60 i thought.

Great Rad btw.

The PA 120.3 sells between £50-£60, 45 is about right for a 120.2.

The MP-05 Pro LE is a cracking block. Looks good too. I would also suggest the MP-1 for the graphics card as it is a very good block and cheap too. The Masterkleer 7/16" tubing is also very good and half the price of what you have listed. Still use jubilee clips for peace of mind though. I did.
 
Ive only seen the masterkleer priced at 89p per foot. So if you get 10 foot of either tubing the XSPC works out cheaper ;) £7.47 for xspc or £8.90 for masterkleer :p
The XSPC has nice thick sidewalls, bends well and doesnt have text all over it which ruins the look imo
 
I have been looking around, and on a pretty popular forum the pump of choice is a DD5 thingy which can be had for about £60. Also swiftech storm CPU block seems to be the best. Although the neXXus ones seem to be more future proof. BTW im a noob to watercooling lol, but i have read up and those seem to be the best performers atm :p.
 
hehe, there arent too many specialist watercooling places, wish ocuk would hurry up already and stock these parts, im prob gunna order them tomoz.

as i get 3.7ghz, but its 77c, so ive gone back to 3.65ghz which is 69c until i get watercooling.
