About a year back, I bought the XSPC Rasa RX360 Kit, paired it with Yate Loons in Push/Pull, and it's been serving me very well ever since. But I feel that urge to build again, so I decided on a sidegrade of sorts. Seeing as how I'm only cooling my CPU (thus far), and changing anything would gain me a minimum of boons, I decided I may as well aim for the aesthetic side of things. Here's a list of things I plan on acquiring, and I'd like your input;
Existing Parts
Cooler Master HAF 932
Corsair HX650
MSI Hawk GTX 460
i7 950
XSPC Rasa CPU Block
XSPC RX360 Rad
XSPC Stock Pump/Res Combo
x6 Yate Loon P/P
The SideGrade
Questionable Pickups
Other Questions
Thanks OCN; greatly appreciated

The SideGrade
- Xigmatec 200mm Purple Fan
Since the stock MegaFlow fan on my case seems to have died, I may as well aim for that deep purple/black color scheme, no? - Swiftech MCP 355
Found a pump via the sticky'd "which pump should you get" thread. Looks like I can add some GPU blocks in the future, and this thing won't even notice. - XSPC Reservoir Pump Top
Heard some wonderful things about this top, and it saves me some space/money as well - what's not to love? - Tygon Norprene Tubing
Tubing is hardly ever any factor, but I like the industrial look this'll bring. - x6 Gentle Typhoons
Had them lying around - time to put the legacy to the test.
Questionable Pickups
- MCP 355 Heatsink
I heard it gets hot; anyone have any insight in this matter? - Petra's Gel-Stuff
Pump decoupling - it's the first time I've heard of it, and it sounds pretty important for both longevity and sound. I liked the look of the Shoggy Sandwich, but it looks like Sidewinders is out. Any thoughts?
Other Questions
- The Xigmatec 200mm Purple Fan; is it a true, deep purple? It's incredibly difficult to look online for a purple, as it seems to be the most difficult of colors to capture. If it helps, I'm looking for a kind of royal purple; darker/deeper is better.
- If I get both the MCP 355 Heatsink and Petra's Gel-Stuff (or something that can decouple better), can they function together?
- Are there any conflicts with the compatibility of the parts listed above?
- Any suggestions/ideas I'm not thinking of?
Thanks OCN; greatly appreciated
