was wondering if this is a good start , first time water-cooler and looking for opinions , advice , or really anything in general. read the sticky on here not sure if i fully understand but i think i got the basic concept. i got a i5-3570k @ 4.3 Ghz and a gtx 780 with a asus p8z77-v mobo this a gaming pc its about the only thing i do on there. i have a nzxt mid tower case i think 810 that might be the full tower but it gets hot and loud when i put in some serious game time and its almost acts like a little furnace in my room. so i figured to try water cooling out to reduce noise and run it a little cooler.

Case- corsair 900d
CPU- xspc raystorm
GPU- xspc razor
Ram- xspc universal kit ( for looks only )
Mobo- heatkiller Mobo set
Pump- swiftec mcp655-B
Rads- xspc EX360
xspc EX480
xspc AX120

i think i got a pretty good layout but i wont get the case til monday and the only other problem i see is i was goin with distilled water with green tubing but im getting the bitspower d5 top upgrade kit 250 and i was goin to mount it to the cage next to the mobo and the problem is it would look funny having a res with clear water with green tubing thru out the rest. i think i covered everything any input , advice , or any questions im all ears

toolmaker no cause i wanted to hang next to the mobo so you can see it thru the side panel and i have all the bays pretty much taking up with 2 fan controllers and a blu ray drive. krazy kap will that res work with the bitspower d5 pump mod top? i like the res and the led in the center is a good solution , also where would i find the led for it and what kind of led?

i liked the frozenQ but a tad bit out of my price range for now but yes like the ones in your pics i was thinking of goin with the xspc res that krazykap mentioned since i can put a led in it and then putting in some either cold cathodes or strips in the top or bottom of the case , whichever looks better maybe both top and bottom to give it that extra green color and try to make it look like green coolant as much as possible.
