I think I've covered what I need but as this is my first water cooled build i am not sure If what Is on the list in 100% correct. Any advice is welcome advice thanks. :D
 
Your gonna need some more commpresion fittings,you need 2 per component,so you will need 12 total.Your probily gonna want a few more 90 fittings aswell just to be safe,you already got a bending kit for the tubes?

Where you planning on putting the drain?you will probily need a t fittings aswell as a male to male extender for that too.For convenience i would get a pump/res combo instead of separate ones,buts either way it doesn't matter.Everything else is fine tho,assuming you already have fans :D
 
Will add those fittings to the list just to be safe :D Yes i have a bending kit for the tubes. i was gonna put the drain at the bottom right of the Reservoir. what pump/res combo would you recommend? and as for fans i have a load of NF-P12-PWM 120mm Silent Case Fan - PWM in my current system. But if you can recommend quieter push fans then ill look into it . thanks
