Quick check before build

Hi,

Got all my parts now, would like to just check with everyone before I start build next week. Will I have enough tubing and fluid?

*EDIT* Will go from rad into the top of the res.

Parts:

10 x Bitspower 7/16 5/8 Compression
2 x 90 Bitspower 90 degree rotory
1 x Bitspower T (for drain)
2m 7/16 x 5/8 XSPC clear tubing
1ltr Mayhems UV Blue
XSPC Raystorm CPU block
Bitspower 150ml tube res
XSPC D5
EK Actel D5 top
Alphacool XT45 240mm Rad
2 x Synthe TP 1850 fans

No plans to throw your GPU in there too?

I would like too but I have a 670 Gigabyte Windforce which is very quite and cool, so seems like a waste of money when I would have the price of block, fittings and a 200mm rad for the front. I will add my next GPU into the loop though. Will buy a louder hotter one just for the excuse to add it lol.

What CPU are you using? You could mount the res left of the drive bays which would give you place for a 120mm rad at the back.

If you're happy with the stock cooler on your 670 though it's maybe not worth the additional cost.

2500k, I did think about having the res on the right side and planned for it originally but it just didn't work out that well with the drain and also longer lengths of tube. Also when the windowed side panel is on you get a nice view or the reservoir with it one the left.

This is sort of how it was going to be:

Just relised, the fluid can return to the reservoir through the top. So where it comes out from the rad it will go straight into the top of res making it even shorter.
