Decided that I'm gonna get my own parts instead of one of the bundles since the one I wanted isn't out yet and I need it before Christmas! Would be very appreciated if someone could go over what I have so far and let me know of any potential improvements or changes which need to be made. Thanks. This loop is for CPU only at this point in time, but I do want to expand it in the future to accommodate for (probably) two GPUs. I'll also be purchasing distilled water to flush components out from a local store.

Not getting premium fans yet as don't have the funds, but they will probably be changed in the future to SP120s or something similar. Anything else that's wrong?
 
There's actually nothing wrong with those fans, they are pretty decent, only real reason to sidegrade to the sp120's would be aesthtics

Other than that it looks good, 45 degree fittings can be a life saver if fitting anything in a tight spot - relying on being able to bend tube can cause problems

Your using compression fittings, so what are the spring clips for?

A 360 rad wouldnt be enough for 2 gpu's, one you'll probably just about get away with

Sorry, it came across in the OP as if I was saying that those fans were the 'wrong' ones, of course they aren't. My bad :P

Does everything else in the build look fine?

I plan on adding another rad when I add 2 GPUs into the loop in the future, so that isn't a problem. Not sure why I included the spring clip actually, just thought it'd be safe to include one potentially for the pump.
