I've already ordered my system components:
Case: NZXT Phantom 820 Matte Black
CPU: Intel i7 4770K
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 1866 16GB (2x8GB)
HDD: WD Black SATA3 FZEX 2TB
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VI Formula
PSU: Corsair RM1000
Optical Drive: Asus 24x Burner
Fans: Noctua NF-A14 FLX 140mm x 4
Thermal Paste: Noctua NT-H1
However, I recently changed my mind and decided to change my watercooler from a swiftech all in one to this kit:

I'm also buying the following extra components for cooling:

I wasn't sure whether this would be enough coolant:

Since I'm going to utilise the crosschill on my ASUS Maximus VI Formula, I'm going to cool the northbridge of my motherboard, as ASUS recently published a statement saying that the aluminium used in the creation of the heatsink inside the motherboard is anodised and won't corrode, so is safe to cool with regular distilled water. This is where I wasn't sure of whether or not I should just use regular distilled water, due to it being safe. Also, using this site:

, can anyone let me know if there is anything else I need to include in my loop, such as a drain port, or anything else.
Just so everyone knows, this is my first build and I'm very near my budget (parts are expensive in Australia) so I can't buy too many extra things, only necessary components, thanks
Also, I don't plan to cool my graphics card at this stage, only my cpu and I want to buy the ASUS Direct CU2 GTX 780 Ti
