Hi all,

I've been out of the scene for a while but have suddenly found myself having a lot more time on my hand! I've currently got a 3770K with a decent OC on it and a 1080 (non-Ti) under water in a Silverstone TJ-07. As the pump in the system is coming on 10 years old I know I'm probably playing with fire so I felt a change was needed. Also, the case is rather dated in features and worse for wear. I've put together the below list and was hoping someone could give it the once over just to see if there's anything I've overlooked or missed out. The reservoir I have currently is a bay mounted one, and in the new case that of course isn't an option and I currently have a quad rad that's the only rad in the loop.

Please let me know your thoughts and your suggestions are gratefully received. Budget is fairly flexible and the rest of my specs are as per my signature.

Yeah I'll be draining and filling from the res. I've made a minor amendment and am now planning to use the EK 360 res/pump combination. I was planning to run the valve from the bottom of the rad so that I can fill and drain without any disassembly needed.

Thanks for the once over. I'll click buy shortly once I've worked up the courage to hit my credit card that hard!

Mcnumpty2323, glad to hear it! I've seen a few reviews about it and really like the look. Additionally it's the same size (ISH) as the TJ-07 and so will be a nice replacement.

Thank you very much for the assist. (hopefully final) and updated list

One other option
Is to also use top fill port into radiator
Either straight in if got multiport rad
Or a t~piece
I find it helpful in addition to filling the res
There's a hole in top of case for it
Edit
Quick disconnects are also a favourite thing of mine to use
Though I got mine dirt cheap on auction site
If they auction instead of buy now they don't sell well
