Watercooling Setup

[AdderWC]

Hi. This is my first post and my first incursion into custom water cooling loops.

I've done some research and watched some reviews and I've come up with a solution that SHOULD be silent and all be compatible with one another but I would like some input from some more experienced users.

I'm going to purchase a Phanteks Enthoo Primo as I think it's a beautiful case and has the required space for radiators.

I've gone with a dual 360mm radiator design due to silence optimisation requiring more fans but at much lower speeds.

2x XSPC 360mm Radiators
EK 780 Ti Waterblock
Swiftech ApogeeHD CPU Block. It isn't on overclockers but was recommended by YouTube's Linus.
Swiftech MCRES micro reservoir V2 Also recommended by Linus.
XSPC Laing D5 as I've heard the D5 pump is the only way to go.
Finally I'll be using 3/8 ID 5/8 OD fittings and tubing for no particular reason and 360mm gaskets on the radiators.
I'm also considering using corsair SP120 quiet's in Push Pull as I have some on my H100i and they're great.

I'd like the loop to go CPU > GPU > Rad 1 > Res > Pump > Rad 2 > as it'd fit the case but if I'm told otherwise I shall reconsider.
If you guys have any suggestions as to if I should replace certain parts, they will be considered carefully. If I could ask kindly please keep the suggestions around the same price points
CPU = i7 4770k 4.4GhZ
GPU = GTX 780 Ti

Thanks in Advance

P.S. I know the 3/8 ID 5/8 OD tubing wont fit on the pump but it stretches in hot water and would be put on that way.
P.P.S. It wont be for a few months yet, so I don't mind about the pre-order items.

Using 2 radiators I would consider this... Res - Pump - Rad 1 - CPU - Rad 2 - GPU - Res and a minimum of 16/11mm tubing.

But then that's just my opinion

can you remove all competitor links as per the forums rules please.
Loop setup really doesn't matter much as long as your pump is straight after your res (imagine the water is travelling quickly though components it doesn't pick up all the heat in one go so your loop temperature equalizes around the loop)

Removed the links, I appologise.

That's what I thought, just knowing the case I believe that's the best way to route it.

Apart from changing fittings, would 16/11 work with the components suggested?

Most of wc fittings have 1/4" thread and thats what you have to look at.
