What do you think, I know I need hoses, coolant and fittings also, but I haven't looked up what I need yet. Feel free to tell me :)

A CPU cooler waterblock to fit AMD and Intel
Will they all work ok together? Anything that I could improve on?
 
A small one lol. Ideally about 135. Which is how much you can get a kit for. But that seemed too easy to me
 
You're also missing fans unless you have them already and could you stretch a extra £7.50 for the 240mm radiator?
 
You will need 6 fittings, 2 on each item you have, and 1M of tubing should be fine - Id advise going coloured tubing over coloured fluid purely because sometimes the dyes can break up.

I'd also perhaps add a T-join, and 4 more fittings with a stopper. This will allow you to add a drain section to your loop (preferably at the lowest point) to make draining easier.

Here's a quick diagram as it probably wont make much sense:

(from cpu or whatever) tubing - fitting - t-join - fitting - tubing (to resevoir or whatever)

Then off the tjoin you have:

tjoin - fitting - small tubing - fitting - stopper.

That means you simply unscrew the stopper into a bowl (and take the cover off the resevoir, and watch it drain easily :)
 
Yeah I have fans and a fan controller. I don't think a 240 read all fit as I have a cooler master elite 430 and although it has 2 fans on top the motherboard is very high and I think the fans would have to go outside.
Ah that sounds like a good idea with the t piece. Glad you said that cause I would never have done that.
Are the Bay reservoirs Ok?
 
Oh and if there is something quite a bit better for a bit extra then please tell me. As you can tell I am a complete noob. But I'm quite looking forward to it
 
I did look at those, but then I can't expand at a later date to include the GPU. Which is why I was after the custom loop with a okish pump.
