In 2 weeks time i'll be starting my new build and i want to have a go at watercooling it, cpu only for now.

Heres my spec first

Nzxt switch 810 matt black.
3570k
8gb 2133 black mamba. (Got)
Msi z77 mpower. (Got)
Seasonic x850. (Got)
1st 7970 lightning. (Got)
2nd 7970 lightning
128gb vertex 4

Right for the water cooling, i will be removing both cages in the switch and i want to go with a tube style res, also want to use the ek supremcy nickel acetal cpu block with black tubing and mayhems pastel yellow coolent.
Wanting a 360 rad to mount in the roof, should think a 45mm will be ample??
Then pump, just wanting something quiet and reliable and black!

Fittings, no idea about these, compression, barbs?? What do ya think for a beginner? Oh and yes.... Black
Will i need a fill port??

If its not too much to ask can someone make me a complete shopping list. Please, i'm sure you have got the jist of my theme!
Budget: not really got one but want to keep it low as possible whilst maintaing quality.
Oh and i dont think i will be putting the lightnings under water as there coolers are good enough and the expense will be too much.

1. Cpu block. Ek supremcy nickel acetal
2. Mayhems pastel yellow
3. Scythe gt 1450's
4. Res?
5. Pump/top?
6. Tubing (black)?
7. Fittings?
8. 360 rad?
9. Anything else??

Thx for your time.
