yes, one loop will be able to handle all that. i would say at minimum a 240 rad would be cutting it close but a 360 would definitely be able to handle all that. i shall leave you with my gigantic post. of some options for you.

Here is my list as a reference:



CPU: (Note 7)

• Apogee GTZ $61.95
• D-tek fuzion v2 $59.95
• HeatKiller LT 775/1366 $59.95 (Note 8)
• XSPC Delta V3 $44.95

Rad:
360

• Med/High CFM Fans (Loud):
  • BI GTX 360 $99.95
• Low/Med CFM Fans (Quiet):
  • XSPC RX360 $94.95
  • Swiftech 320 $49.95 (Note 2)

240 (Note 1)

• Med/High CFM Fans (Loud):
  • BI GTX 240 $89.95
• Low/Med CFM Fans (Quiet):
  • XSPC RX240 $71.95
  • Swiftech 220 $37.95

Pump (Note 4) + Res: (Note 3)
Option 1:

• MCP-655 $74.95
• Microres v2 $22.95

Low/Med (Quiet)

• 88CFM Yate Loons $3.30/each (Pricing for 3-9 fans)

Barbs:

• DD/BP 1/2" Fatboys $2.50/each

Coolant:

• Distilled water from local supermarket. (Price will vary on your store)

Misc:

• PT-Nuke $2.50

Reference 360 Setup: (All totals have 15ft of tubing, 8 barbs, and 3x fans.)
Med/High CFM (Loud)

• Option 1 - GTX360+pumpres1+Scythes= $313.90
• Option 2 - GTX360+pumpres2+Scythes= $321.90

Low/Med CFM (Quiet)

• Option 3 - RX360 +pumpres1+Y-L= $291.95
• Option 4 - RX360 +pumpres2+Y-L= $299.95

If you are lacking in space, Options 2 and 4 would be best. If you want silence w/o a fan controller, Option 3 and 4 are for you (1 and 2 if you have fan controller). If you have extra space and want a separate res then Options 1 and 3.


Cheapest CPU Only Option:
CPU*: XSPC Delta V3 - $44.95
Pump*: DD Db-1 - $42.95
Rad*: Swiftech 220 Rad - $37.95 - Choose your barbs here. (It will save you $1)
Barbs: 2x Fatboys - Select BP G1/4 1/2" Fittings - $4
T-block*: ½” Nylon T -$1.35
Tubing: 10ft durelene - $4.50
Fans: 3x Yate Loons - $9.90
Misc: PT-Nuke $2.50

Total: $149.10



NOTES:

1. If this is for CPU loop only and you have no plans on expanding to GPUs then I would recommend a 240 rad instead.
2. If you want a 360 rad but you are on a really tight budget then this rad is for you. For fans, I would use the Yate Loons mentioned before.
3. If you are on a really tight budget, cut out the reservoirs and use a T-line. You'll have to buy a T-fitting in its place though. I would recommend the...
   • 1/2” Nylon T $1.35
4. If the D5 or DDC3.2 is too expensive, then a cheaper alternative would be:
   • DangerDen Db-1 $43.95
5. You may or may not want to add GPUs to your loop down the road so here are some GPU only block recommendations(If you want fullcover blocks, they are much more expensive and much more specialized.):
   • D-Tek Fuzion GFX v2 $46.95
   • Swiftech MCW-60 Rev.2 $40.95
6. If you have a fan controller, then any of the above options are good.
7. If you are going for i7, then you'll need 1366 adapters:
   • D-tek Fuzion 1366 $13.95
   • Apogee GTZ 1366 $8.95
8. If you do go with the HeatKiller, it would be best to get a backplate:
   • 775 Backplate $7.70
   • 1366 Backplate $7.70

I hope this helps.
