So ive built a few PC's but all on air and i recently built my newer one using the Noctua NH-D14 cooler. I want to go with watercooling though. Ive researched a litttle and watched some youtube videos. I have picked out some parts on frozen CPU and was hoping you guys could tell me if they are good products and will work well together. Ive got an i7-3770k, my case is an nzxt phantom 410 Here's the list do far:

Radiator: Black Ice GT Stealth 240 X-Flow Radiator - Black
- G 1/4" Fittings (Qty. 2): 3/8 x 1/2 Compression Fittings-Black
- Fan Mounting Hardware x 8: 30mm Hex Screws-Black (25mm Fans)

Tubing: Tygon B-44-4X 3/8" ID (1/2" OD) - "Non-Porous" Smooth Tubing (7ft.)
http://

CPU Block: XSPC RayStorm High Performance Acetal CPU Liquid Cooling Block
- G 1/4" Fittings (Qty. 2): 3/8 x 1/2 Compression Fittings-Black
http://

Resivour: Bitspower Water Tank Z-Multi 150 Inline Reservoir (BP-WTZM150P-BK)
- G 1/4" Fittings (Qty. 2): 3/8 x 1/2 Compression Fittings-Black

Thats what i've got so far, I wanted to go with a D5 pump but cant really decide on what one..?
If i'm missing anything (besides fans) let me know please and thank you!

Thanks. and yeah i'd prefer to try water cooling first :) thanks lol

I was looking at the MCP655 w/speed controller, i will be in the future connecting this loopto my GPU but not at first. I plan on having to 760s in the future currently have one so im going to wait til i get the second would it be a good pump with the 2 GPU's also? Would i need another radiator at that point?

A lot going on here, let’s start with the radiator a 240mm is too small for your plans a 360mm radiator on the CPU would be a good start for this build, also I like the 250mm tube style reservoirs or bigger they do not vortex as bad and they are tall enough that the bubbles do not reach the bottom of the reservoir. Back to the loop, As you add more hardware to the loop the radiator space will need to increase. I water cool almost everything, and I have 3 360mm radiators to do that. This build is starting out small but you plan to build a quite large system, and with that said you will need at least 2 360mm radiators for your final build. That is why I suggest starting your build with a 360mm radiator.









I hope this is helpful
