upgrading existing loop

hi guys,

I made the jump into W/C last xmas and want to add to it.

My question is can my pump cope with the proposed upgrades below or will i require a pump top on the tube res?

I want to upgrade to allow me to add in a W/C 7970 or 680 unsure which yet.

existing:
Laing 18W DDC-Pump 12V DDC-1T Plus
Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator SR1 240
XSPC Single 5.25” Bay Reservoir - Multi Fascia

Proposed upgrades:
Bitspower Z-Multi 250mm Water Tank
Hardware Labs Black ICE Radiator GT Xtreme 120

Thanks in advance :-)

I have an NZXT Phantom with a few mods to enable me to fit in a 240 rad in the bottom of the case.

My pump is also still standard, I like the idea of having a new top...never thought of that

I was thinking of adding one of these to the res:

....or is that a no no having two pumps?

cheers

ok cool, so its looking like im gonna add a new top to my existing pump, I got a little confused during all the browsing :-S hence the dodgy link.

What would the best 120 rad to add to my loop? as I want a good blend of performance and the quitest experience possible.

ermmmm.....possibly with some further modification...shouldnt be too difficult, if so just put another SR1-240 in?
