asking for opinions on this set-up

cpu block- xspc raystorm high performance acetal - $ 63
pump- swiftec mcp655-b 12v water pump with 3/8 conversion kit - $90
Res-swiftec mcres micro rev 2 sff high-flow res - $25
Rad-ek coolstream 280 xtc series - $ 85
Gpu Block- xspc razor gtx 680 full coverage block - $100

i dont know if that pump is good or not and any suggestions would be good also the gpu block because i have the gtx680 superclocked sig 2 and i dont know if its a reference design or not. also my case is a phantom 410 should i have enough room for all this? any opinions/ advice would help thanks

well I was gonna put the rad up top where my 2 140mm fans sit now the only problem I see is if I put it on the bottom side its gonna be super close to the cpu and up top, how the case is design would not fit maybe, I might have to a bit of modding another question and day. I do have room by my hdd racks to put a 140 or 120 rad there for the gpu itself . thanks for that info I didn't think that far ahead apparently time for some dimension taking

well after looking and measuring and converting mm into inches I think im barely gonna have enough room to put the rad inside and mount the 2 120mm fans on top then a 120 mm rad for gpu by either hdd rack orremove it and put where the top 120 mm fan on the front of the case would be. I was thinking of putting the res in a bay then the pump on the bottom of the case will I run into any issues with that? ex air bubbles not being able to escape or slow the flow down by not having good circulation?

The res and pump placement sounds like it'd be good.

And I think you can fit a 240mm rad on the top and the bottom (after you remove the HDD cage). I'm assuming you're going to be using a push/pull config on whatever rad(s) you're using?

ya I could but I am having trouble as to where to put my hdd and ssd I was gonna keep the one hdd cage on the bottom and remove the other which would allow 1 120 mm rad. as for push pull the top would be fairly tight imo cuz the rad is inside the case and the the fans on top of it and putting fans on the bottom would b almost touching my cpu I think the tubing would look ugly crossing each other and not to mention having 3tubes right next to each other basically touching. does this sound about right? trying to keep it clean as possible

actually I was thinking 2 240 rads one on top and one on the side with a res in the 5.25 bay and putting hdd and ssd on the back with the all the wires get some industrial strength Velcro and attaching them there. my only question with that is that I have to go from res to rad then to pump. I know people say you should have your res go directly to your pump so it wont run dry but if I don't I go back to cris-crossing tubes. if I run res-rad-pump will it be that big of a deal? tried looking online but no real solid answer.

ok got ya so with the swiftec mcp655 pump can i attach a res on top of it? the one im getting is the one with G 1/4 threaded ports. will it fit any res? or something unconventional as to a res in a bay go into rad coming out to another res then to the pump?
