I'm upgrading my PC to full liquid cooling and I need someone to just look over the parts to see if I'm missing anything or if these parts won't work together. This is my first custom liquid cooling build. I'm purchasing everything from EWKB. My pump and reservoir are combined

Radiator

Pump

Reservoir

CPU Block

GPU Block

Chipset

Tubing

Fittings

Plus Non Conductive Water and Thermal Paste. I know everything will fit inside my case, I'm just worried about some of these items not being compatible with each other.

What is there to worry about? What specifically are you worried about with compatibility?

Well the thing I'm worried about is if all of these items will work together, ofcourse I'll have to get fans for the rad but if I were to order all these parts would I run into any issues with tubes not fitting or if I'll need a better pump since I'm cooling multiple things?

You shouldn't have an issue as far as the fittings go. Although, I would be worried about the pump. You DEFINITELY don't want to cheap out on the pump.

Hmm I might switch to another pump that gives 900l/h. The one before was 400l/h

I would get 3/8ID X 5/8OD tubing and fittings to match thick wall tubing will last longer and norprene tubing will last even longer than clear or colored tubing.

I suggest getting the Swiftech MCP655. It has about 1200 l/h and it is very reliable. Although I don't see it on the website you're buying from... Is there any other website you would be willing to buy from?
EDIT: The "Laing D5 Vario' is actually the Swiftech MCP655. Very odd that they would give it a different name.
