I want to water cool my PC, my parts are in the bottom, so is my proposed loop setup, and the water cooling parts I plan on buying. I still need to choose tubing, fittings and I was hoping you guys would help me. I'm pretty sure I know the measurements and what goes with what, I just need help deciding if angled fitting would be better in some parts to prevent flow restriction where the tubing would kink. Also please let me know if I should buy different water cooling parts. I already measured everything in my case and the push-pull fans at the front with the 30mm thick radiator fit with the pump and reservoir at the bottom. Of course I will also be getting 6 more fans, so far people seem to suggest Gentle Typhoons or Noctua but I really like the look of the Cougar Vortex. One big question also, will I need to get a new power supply...with the pump and everything else in place pcpartpicker says I'll be using less than 500W without overclocking. But I do want to overclock mildly. And my plans are a very quiet PC that is also very cool. I live in NJ, USA...right now it is 87 degrees F if that matters
and thank you in advance.
