Looks smart, your ram sticks are in the incorrect slots.

Not sure you’ll need 3ltr of coolant

Isn't it insane how watercooling parts can cost the amount of a decent PC. I just ordered and installed a bunch of parts myself and know the feeling ...

Watercooling components are just ridiculous these days, £100 for a decent radiator, £100+ for a full cover gpu block, the list goes on. When I first started watercooling over 15 years ago it only cost me around £150 for a full setup including a Alphacool 360mm rad, XSPC anodised aluminium res that actually had some cooling capacity and some of the best blocks and pumps you could get at the time which were made by Aquaextreme (50z pump which I still have as a spare, MP05 Pro cpu block, MP-1 gpu block). Sadly those days of reasonable prices have long gone and if I were starting from scratch now there is no way I could justify the cost.

The pump/res combo the OP has picked is particularly expensive as is the cpu block but that's EK for you. Personally I won't ever touch a EK component ever again after the nightmare I had with them a few years ago.

@Milkybk Don't go spending nearly £7 on a fill bottle. You can get a similar one on Ebay for £2.58.
