Hi All,
After many years of wanting, i'm hoping to pull the trigger on parts this week. I'm a complete noob when it comes to watercooling so could use some advice in a few areas, but i'm hoping I'm atleast on the right direction.
For now, I'm just wanting to cool the CPU, but will in the future look to add the GFX card too. Same goes for tubing, i'll move to hard line eventually, but for now and ease, going to go soft.
Planned Parts:
Incredible paint skills:
Going into the Be Quiet! Dark Base Pro 900 rev2. The top drive bay will be removed. Fans mounted on the bottom side of the rad blowing up and out.
Questions:
All help greatly appreciated!

Questions:
- PumpRes combo - I know I had some parts with the case, but this is going to be ok to mount here? Preferably via screwing down into something as opposed to backplating it.
- Is that the right tubing and fixings? Also enough?
- Is 1 Litre of coolant enough? I cant find anywhere that says how much the Res and Rad will hold?
- Going to put a ball valve in for easier draining. Put it between the Pump and CPU?
- Going to need 3 140mm fans for the Rad. Preferably RGB and not crazy price, any recommendations?
All help greatly appreciated!
