Okay guys i need help on what i picked out so far for my custom loop. I will be getting this in 2 weeks-1 month so i want to change as much as i can and keep a budget under 400 if possible. Also could you help check for compatibility. This will be in a silverstone ps07 so it's kinda compact and i need lots of help. Thanks in advance!

id go pump-cpu-ex120-gpu-ex240-resi-pump

It will look alot neater and wont affect cooling performance.

other then that should look nice. I have a similar kind of setup in a antec 1100. i have used the raystorm block too. Just be carefull with the wrapping as there is the 1 wrapping on it plus another thin plastic film on the cpu contact surface u need to take off before mounting.

Thanks for the reply! So for my fittings i can connect a 90degree and a 45 degree together to create what is shown in the diagram flat the top of the pump? Also where do you think i can lower my budget?

are those fittings 30 bucks each?!? id start there. I can get bitspower dual rotary fittings for 19 in AUS. another good way to save is buy a decent H2O kit and add onto it. I know XSPC have a good kit that includes pump/resi, 240mm rad, tubings, comp fittings, raystorm block for 270 or somthing. If u use that as a base u can add onto it and it could work out cheaper. what site are u using for ur gear?

the top of the pump is the resivoir, and is only an inlet. so the 240mm rad should be feeding the resivoir, which feeds the pump etc. Heres is a revised loop i think you should consider. flow is in the counter clockwise direction

The angled fittings are like 5 bucks each and straight ones 10 bucks. I would get a kitstarting off but the thing is the 240 rad that i will put on the front will block one optical bay so a double bayres from those xspc kits aren't gonna work :/

Though leak testing a homemade water block I learned that the pump adds a considerable amount of heat to the loop.
I hooked my DIY block to a pump with out a rad and after 15 minutes of running the pump the block was very warm to the touch, warm enough to make it uncomfortable to hold for more than a few seconds, so my advice is to always have the coolant flow through a rad after the pump
