So i was looking at my first water cooling PC and i decided on which water cooling kit i was gonna get (here: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=24223 )
So i would like a blue interior of my system, and i was looking at some tubing and the only blue tubing they have is in either 1/2 or 3/8 tubing. So would either of them fit on 7/16 compression fittings or would i have to buy different fittings??

I wont be getting the system until next year since i need to get a job to pay for it, i would like to get

  • CPU: 4930K
    MOBO: Asus Rampage IV Extreme Black edition
    GPU: GTX 780Ti
I would like to overclock to 5+Ghz and used mainly for gaming and editing for youtube
I may end up waiting for Haswell-e

Any other advice would be appreciated
Thanks :)

1/2" is just a bit bigger than 7/16", 3/4" is a fair bit bigger (surprisingly, these fractions actually indicate real size :p)
So I think your out of luck and will just have to buy different tubing.

Although, I would email PCCaseGear and ask if they can bring 7/16" tubing back into stock. I asked about a particular reservoir and it was available for purchase within a couple of days, so chances are they can bring it into stock if you ask.

Also, I suggest you go for this kit rather than the one you linked.

This one has a reservoir and pump (same pump in both) that can be seperated and become standalone components, on your original one if either...
