Ira-K suggested getting a 360 rad, though I would like to keep this under 300$ total. If you see anything you would change, please provide a product and explanation why you suggested it.

This will be my first WC setup, and I will order parts tomorrow after getting a few replies/information from you'll. Any suggestions will be appriciate. Once all is ordered I will start a log and pictures of the Modifications I will do to my case. Thanks again!

Edit: Here is my case: HERE

Looks good...
I would go with Ira on the 360 rad. BIX 360 would work great. $13 more for the 360.
I'm running a 240 and a 360 together in one loop.

You could drop that reservoir and go with a MCR320, and a MCRES if you want to use a res rather than a T-Line.

if you plan on modifying you loop or case in the near future you may want to think about putting a drain port in your loop to make it easier to disassemble later. i am kicking myself for not having installed one yet.

Would that just be a T-line with tubing at the bottom of my loop? This is my first WC attempt, so please bare with me on these questions.

Edited main post with picture of my case for component placement!

xtcrulez

yes , its basically a t-line positioned at the lowest point of your loop , with a plug or better yet , a valve to drain the fluid out in case you need to take it apart , and you WILL be taking it apart , trust me..you'll love this stuff.

Appreciate the replies +Rep to all!

My main decision is about whether to get a 240/360 rad. If I were to get the 360 where would be the most efficient place to put it? Also should I put 6x120 fans on a push/pull setup? Or does 3x120 work just fine? Once this choice is made, I will order all components! Thanks again all.

puzzledazn

You mind me asking what fans will you be using to cool the RAD ?
From what I've asked people, sunon and panaflo is good. Also if the noise is a factor, you can alwaays get a fan controller

I would reccomend these

I also purchased a new WCing system recently and saw that it is actually cheaper to purchase all the products within one place, because shipping is pretty $$$ (not thread crapping). Maybe try to compare the prices from one place to another and see if you save any $

NEvolution

I have my MCR320 rigged to the back of the case with a RadBox. I'd say that's a pretty good place to put it if you don't mind having it placed externally.

Depending on the fans that you plan on using, 3 in a pull config should be fine.
I currently have 6 Yate Loons in a Push/Pull config.

Not at all. I have around 5 Antec 79CFM 120mm fans in my possession right now. I would like to keep this rather quiet. I realize if I go the 240 rad route, I may need to buy better fans, unless these are adequate for cooling. Any input is happily regarded, any help is appreciated!
