Hello everyone. I am going to be finishing up my computer build. I wanted to implement custom water cooling with UV tubing instead of buying a closed loop such as h100i. I'm a big noob for things like this. Can anyone here guide me step by step to build this loop? I need full on details and step by step guides on how to properly install it. I'd appreciate some sort of link. Also, can someone give me links to the best reservoir, pumps, and uv tubing that is affordable and looks nice. I'd also like to know what water block is good. I'd like to cool both my CPU and GPU. My case is nzxt phantom 530 and my GPU is gtx 780 evga acx, and my processor is i7 4770k if that. Matters. A cylindrical reservoir is preferred. I want a radiator that will fit in the top part of my case but I currently forgot which size fans it supports as I am typing this. Thanks
 
You've got a bit of research ahead of you but this link is a great start IMO http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/277130-29-read-first-watercooling-sticky there are quite a few good kits available from XSPC, Swiftech, EKWB, and a few others. I usually start my loops from a kit and then add-on from there. I haven't ben able to source the individual parts cheaper than in a kit.
Take a look through the sticky there, I'll see what I can't conjure up in the way of a kit... what country are we shopping in here?
