First watercooling setup *Now built*

Evening peeps, I have decided that I'm going to attempt my first custom water cooling build and would like some advise on what I have planned. Going to use EKWB parts for everything as I like the look of their products and have already got the EK blocks for my MB, the other parts I intend to use are as follows,

EK-Supremacy EVO - Acetal+Nickel
EK-FC Titan X - Acetal+Nickel
EK-DBAY D5 Vario (incl. pump)
EK-CoolStream PE 360
EK-CoolStream XE 240
EK-Vardar F2-120 (1450rpm) x5
EK 12/16mm (7/16'' - 5/8'') compression fittings and tubing
EK pastel orange coolant

Below I have got a diagram with the proposed layout of the loop with the type of fittings for the waterblocks, eg 45, 90 degree elbows and normal fittings. does this layout look fine to you experienced guys as I have looked at loads of build threads and basically copied from what I've seen? any input will be excellent.

Well I have now finished my first watercool build, really enjoyed it to be honest, had a couple of snags along the way but nothing to major. Could do with some of those cable combs and a bit of a tidy of the cables, but I'm happy with it!





 
Very nice, I like the colour co-ordination, even down to the PSU sticker.

Did you use a quick disconnect, tap, or just a plug at the end of your drain pipe?
