Hello all! :) 
I need your help and expertise. Can you advise me as to what Tubing size, Fittings and Coolant i should use with all of these other water cooling parts.
Before you say it, I know that this computer is overkill and everything else, however that is not what I need advice on.
Below is the build i would like to buy soon, however I am unsure of what it needs as stated above.

Please can you list all of the needed parts and if possible find them from this website:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/

I am from the UK so if this isnt possible try and make sure it is still from a .co.uk site.

ALSO, Which 780 Ti's should i pick, is it worth going for the superclocked or is it better to get a cheaper brand?

Thanks Very Much In Advanced!

The answers are actually pretty simple.

Tubing Size
Anything bigger than 1/4" ID... Really its that simple, from there its just what colour you want (because colour should be in tubing, not dye's).
Fittings
Whatever fits the tubing you picked and you like the look of. Barb+Clamp fittings do the same job as Compressions, Compressions just look nicer for a few bucks more. Make sure to figure out whether you need any angle adaptors.
Coolant
Distilled or demineralized water, buy it from the cleaning aisle at the supermarket, you don't need anything special. Include a biocide or kill-coil so stuff doesnt grow in the loop.

Thanks. Because the Reservoirs are 1/4" do i need to get that size fittings or can i get an adapter for it so as i can get a thicker tube?

Dont get confused between tubing measurements and the thread on the fittings and ports. G1/4" is very different to 1/4" ID.



If you havent already, I suggest you read through the water-cooling sticky.
