Could someone please verify if this will all work? and if you would recommend anything else before I buy today?

Apogee Drive II
Swiftech MCRES Micro Revision 2
XSPC RX240 120mm Radiator
BitFenix Recon Fan Controller
Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1850 RPM X2
XSPC HighFlex Hose clear 1/2" ID, 3/4" OD
XSPC Coin Fit 1/2 ID 3/4 OD Compression Fitting
Mayhems X1 UV Blue Premixed Watercooling Fluid 1L


How many litres do you think I will need?
How many compression fittings would I need?
How many M of hose would I need?
Anything else I will need before building?


My goal is to OC the cpu and keep gpu at stock but hopefully achieve silent operation, this watercooling setup is for:

Bitfenix Prodigy

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe
256GB Crucial M4
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB
Corsair AX650w
GTX 670 with block

Sorry for all the questions.

1L of fluid and 1m of tubing should be enough as Prodigy is a small case! But I wouldn't mind getting 2m of tubing if this is the first time you are doing this :)
8 Fittings(2 per unit) but not sure if you will need any angled fittings or not(draw a diagram using an image of the Prodigy case)
Do you have the Fans?
Thanks guys

Yes 2x Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120mm 1850 RPM? should that be enough?

I got 2L and 2metres, just to make sure.

Where are you getting the drive II from? I was going to use one but couldn't find any in the UK.

What I will say is don't expect to get everything and get it in all in and done straight away. You may find you need angled connectors/something might not work out as you planned.

Also the recon won't fit without some modding - and I'm still not 100% sure if it will fit.

Keep an eye on my thread as my recon will be here tomorrow. I think I can make it fit, but I won't know for sure until then.

eBay mate it will be here in hopefully a week now, I will keep an eye on your thread :)

Cheers

Yep, those fittings and tubing should fit :)

Do you have any thing sharp to cut the tube?
Do some reading about "PSU Jump start"(using a paper clip) or get a "PSU bridge".

Thanks I really appreciate the help :)

I will add a hose cutter and PSU bridge to the list, what else do I need? How should I flush the radiators?
