Water cool advice

Hi all,
I apologise, I'm sure this forum gets saturated with posts like this but I need help.

I'm planning on updating my GTX1070 to an RTX2080 super. Whilst doing that, I decided maybe I'll water cool the PC as well (and order the card pre-built with the water block)

Attached is my quick mockup of the loop I think I'll do, the QR valve is so I can close off half the tube to drain it, although looking at it, I don't think that will work.

any advice?

*Edit, how do I get an image to show up? I haven’t used these forums in a long time

Upload to somewhere like Imgur. Then click the insert image button, place URL of image in there.

I upload from mobile and so have to add "l.jpg" to the URL and put an "i." in front of the Imgur domain.

depending on your pump/res, you could run a drain from a spare port on the bottom of that, might help it look cleaner than having the break in the line from the pump to gpu.

I would have the roof fans set to exhaust not as intakes. With only a single exhaust fan things will get pretty warm in that case.

As mentioned above, top fans as exhaust and put a "Y" splitter on the outlet from the pump on which one can have a drain valve fitted and the other goes to GPU.
