or if this fits

for fitting not sure which but has to be black or red.

also thinking of getting a 7870 as a gpu so would want to water cool that in the future so is that enough.
There is no budget as i am buying parts as i get paid but not looking to go over board at the end dont want to go over about £350-£400.

i like the look of these fitting

400ml RES may be too big, You don't really need the D5 mod kit, it is for the show-no performance impact(saying that, I have one in my loop ;) check my sig for build log)

You can run your CPU and GPU with thet 360mm RAD alone with some good fans like GTs on a controller at around 800-1000RPM(remember to get the fans)

EK-Supremacy PreciseMount Add-on Naked Ivy is for EK Supremacy(hint is in the name) CPU block, you have selectd the Koolance one.
Delidding the CPU will void the warranty.

Most important thing - I feel that you have skipped one very important bit - do your research!
 
what have i mised i have been through the watercooliong guide also have corsair sp120 fans also would change to ek block if it does not void warranty

ps. is it the pump top
