So Im getting a wc setup in a few months and wanted to start finding deals now on my parts, however I need to make sure these are the right parts. I want to keep it as cheap as possible( that means more diy)
D-TEK FuZion v2 Universal CPU Water Block - AMD & Intel
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/76...tl=g30c325s844
Or this( whichever I can get cheaper)
Swiftech Apogee™ GTZ Universal CPU Waterblock
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/79...aterblock.html

Danger Den DD-CPX Pro 12V 3 Pin Powered Pump - 237 GPH (DD-CPX Pro)
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/76...tl=g30c325s844

Is it possible to get a good pump to connect with a plug to the wall, dont want a psu one.

Danger Den Black Ice GTX Xtreme 480 Radiator - Black
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/53...?tl=g30c95s570

1/2 tubing and cooling - 25$

Is this good or anything better?
I also plan to upgrade to cool my gpu later when I get a new one is that good?

i dont know of any pumps that plug directly into the wall...i think some of the much larger ones do but those will cost you a small fortune...

It seems alright, but you are missing some fans for the radiator.

i would prolly get the GTZ instead of the D-Tek - either way both real good

If I were you I'd get this CPU block, only $5 more. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/79...aterblock.html

And is this a CPU only loop? or do you plan on adding GPU's in? If this is a CPU onlt loop the 480 rad is crazy overkill.

You could probably still get away with a 360 rad if your only using a single card.

just get a d5 pump that connects to a molex. you still need fans and a res.

I use these, best rad fans you can buy as long as you either don't mind a little noise, or have a fan controller.

g(1/4) is an expression of the thread dimensions, all common barbs from 1/4 to 1/2 use g(1/4) threads

G1/4 is the thread diameter. aka where your barb will thread into. As long as you use 1/2" barbs.

one question I had is how in the hell am I going to power all those fans?

Are you building a new pc to go with your wc system, if so, just be sure to get a good power supply and fan controller and it won't be an issue. Your 350 watt generic psu will not be able to power a pc, pump and highpower fans.

Plug them into your molex connectors from your psu.

I would do 4, if you're actualy going to WC

but tbh I would upgrade your cpu first...then water cool, you'll notice a much bigger performance jump that way.
