Hi,

Firstly that CPU doesn't fit the board. You need a 5820K.

There are better quality PSUs such as EVGA G2 or Superflower.

And the case, well Phanteks do cases that can eat up water cooling parts.

What drives do you have?
 
Intel i7-5820K Extreme Hex Core CPU Processor (3.30GHz, 15MB Cache, 140W, Socket 2011-V3, 28 Lanes PCI Express Generation 3) that one,? had a few different things on my wish list just deleted them
 
 
I've seen a few Youtube vids about that Phanteks and the amount of rads etc it can take inside is impressive.

Re consider which block and res you want, something just plain black will match either board better.

so this is as powerful as the one i put up top?
 
Instead of going full water cooling from the start.

How about just using a H100i GTX just to cool the CPU initially, then work up to a full custom loop.

just ordered the case if all go ok coz ive never used them before ill get the rest ordered up, what size tubing should i be aiming for?
 
1/4" fittings is usually 10/16mm tubing.

But custom water cooling is not something I specialise in.
 
Which colour case did you get? all I do know is you might want to rethink the colour of the cpu block+res as black tends to go with everything then pick a dye to match the board accents or something.
