I'm planning to overclock my i7-4770k CPU with liquid cooling and I was wondering if the XSPC Raystorm 750 EX360 kit will be enough cooling for a overclocked CPU loop which I might add a lesser overclocked MSI Radeon HD 7950 to later on. I will mount the system in a CM HAF X that will run from the pump to the CPU block, then to the radiator up top, and back to the pump. Will this setup provide the cooling I need to overclock my CPU, be compatible with the case, and maybe add a GPU later on? Also should I go for distilled water or a coolant (if so, which coolant?)

That kit will work fine in a HAF-X, I had the RS360 version in it not long ago. Check my build log (in the sig) to see how I had it set up and see what problems you might come across.
I recommend you get a better pump though, especially as you intend to add a GPU block down the line. That X20 750 isnt strong enough to handle a CPU+GPU loop, and is expensive to replace as its both a reservoir and pump, which will mean spending at least $150 and throwing out hardware. I suggest you just get the better pump and a seperate reservoir in the first place.

It isn't the best pump in the world but the kit will work. As for fitting in the case, I am not familiar with that case so I can't say for sure but looking at it, it doesn't look like it has a mpunt for a 360 rad. So probably not.
Distilled water.

I know the case supports a 360 rad on top, I've inspected it myself and it's on their website. I know it isn't the best pump but I am new to watercooling and I don't need much out of a pump right now since I don't have a complex system for cooling a bunch of parts.

As long as your sure it will fit than yes it will work.
