Hey
You seem to have all the bits you need, though I don't know about the quality of the XSPC stuff I'm afraid, someone else may be able to help you
I know 'slightly' more than nothing

All good. The rad you're getting is supposed to be on par with the thick rads (basically, good)

I would personally switch the res/pump for a laing DDC as it's more powerful, but it's up to you

JeffyB · 27 Oct 2011 at 11:55

Looks good, i'm not the biggest fan of that bay res/pump but i have never used one either. If your going for uv get led flexlights rather than cathodes, a lot brighter effect. Also buy your self a decent hose cutter, makes life so much simpler and gives a perfect cut every time. Psu bump start bridge is handy as well, saves any embarrassing moments with a paperclip if your not too sure.

Cleeecooo · 27 Oct 2011 at 12:43

Where did you see cathodes jeffy?

JeffyB · 27 Oct 2011 at 13:12

I didn't but i did see he has picked uv reactive hose.

Cleeecooo · 27 Oct 2011 at 14:22

Ah, yes, LEDs are soo much better than cathodes and don't need stupid inverters!

Thanks for all your advice, it's helped a lot

The main reason I went with the res/pump combo was cost, and I also think it'll look tidier when I have everything installed (as it's all in the top of the case)

Also I dont plan on using UV light, I went with the tube simply because it's white, and in this case I think it'll look great , other builds have proved it too

get a better res pump combo.

buy a laing DDC pump and a res to house it

j0sh · 27 Oct 2011 at 22:54

Is there really that much of a difference with a DDC though?

Cleeecooo · 27 Oct 2011 at 22:58

Yep. Little quieter and much more powerful

j0sh · 27 Oct 2011 at 23:17

I suppose but this

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-031-OE&groupid=962&catid=2141&subcat=

That is roughly a tenner more expensive and I'd still need a res :/ which adds more cost, I'm trying to get as much as possible for a little money really, but how much quieter would it be? And do I really need a super powerful pump or would it be overkill?

Cleeecooo · 28 Oct 2011 at 00:40

Well my friend has the XSPC res pump combo.

Under full load it makes an annoying sound.

j0sh · 28 Oct 2011 at 13:39

Hmm, I shall look into it I think, is it really that bad though?

Funds are limited, but I'd rather pay a little more and get something decent

That's the way to go

j0sh · 28 Oct 2011 at 19:17

But if i do that I'll end up going

"may aswell get that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that, and that" until my basket costs a small fortune
