Hi, I am planning on setting up a custom loop in my H440 for my i5-4590 (i know its not overclockable im gonna get a new one) and GTX 780 Ti (Acx Sc)
Can anyone give me some ideas of what components i should use.
I plan to use Corsair SP120 High performance fans.
I was thinking about this radiator: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/radiators-fans-accessories/rad...

And some of the components in the EK-KIT 360: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-x360.html

Also where do i mount the pump and reservoir, Or can someone link me to a pump/resovoir or combo which mounts to a 2.5" bay on the bottom of my case, or one which goes in a 3.5" drive bay.

I'm actually in the same position that you are, getting ready to watercool my system in an NZXT H440 case, and have been researching the same issue since a bay res is kind of out of the question.

Since you're going with that EK kit, and it uses a cylindrical res (which I definitely recommend for the H440) you should be able to use this mount:

This is the same mount I plan on using, and should work fine on a 360mm rad. You could place it in the middle or bottom pretty easily and hook it up to your pump if you mount the pump to the floor, but you will have to find space (probably near your PSU) to mount an HDD, because you probably won't have room to keep the drive mounts.

I would strongly suggest reading through the watercooling sticky. It sounds like you are putting the cart well ahead of the horse.
