Hi Guys,

First time water cooler here, so looking for some advice on the below kit? is it ok for CPU only and a bit of expansion later on when i've sorted my GPU situation? Ive already got a Phobya res.

YOUR BASKET
1 x OcUK Tech Lab - XSPC D5 Vario Pump & XSPC Acetal D5 Top Value Combo £79.94
1 x Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Stealth 360 £49.99
1 x EK Water Blocks EK-Supremacy £49.99
2 x Monsoon 13/10mm (OD 1/2) Rotary 45° - White £6.95 (£13.90)
4 x Monsoon 13/10mm (ID 3/8 OD 1/2) Free Center Compression Fitting - White £5.29 (£21.16)
4 x EK Water Blocks EK-CSQ Fitting 10/13mm G1/4 - Black £2.99 (£11.96)
Total : £236.54 (includes shipping : £8.00).

 
Looks okay, is there any reason you went half and half on fittings?

If you will expand the loop only by a few blocks and rads, then i would probably save cash on the pump by going for EK 4.0 and grab a better performing radiator.

Yeah, some are hidden from view so to keep costs down;) Can you suggest a better Rad?
 
This will fill up most of your rad space and give the best performance for the cash.

Alternatively, you can just use a single premium 360mm rad. First choice of these rads for me would be the RX XSPC V3. Having said that, you can get away with a single 360 for a cpu and gpu, these rads are great for the cash!
