at the moment i have got an corsair 900d case in which will last me an few years so am ok there. i have got corsair h110 for my 4970k which doe's the job ok but now i want to change it to an custom loop only for the cpu only . the h110 is ok but bit ugly to look at so now i want the case to look nice so any idea's what i can go for as i got no clue on the custom loop side. cheers
 
Basically you need the following:

  • Pump
  • Radiator
  • Reservoir
  • CPU Waterblock
  • Fittings (2 of these for each component)
  • Tubing (To match the fittings)

The 900D is a good case to work with & has plenty of options. Have you got any intention to expand to the loop in the future?

Personally I'd go for a 480 radiator in the top of the case (it is rather overkill, but will give you space for expansion at a later date), a decent pump (D5/DDC), a tube reservoir (once again personal preference - it's mainly a looks thing) & a decent CPU block (I like the EK Supremacy's myself)
 
I like the (D5/DDC) pump top+cylindrical res combos, as long as you have somewhere to mount them. Saves you a couple of fittings/tubes and usually look pretty neat too.
