I am currently building a new computer for gaming/recording/livestreaming ect. I don't really play very intensive games so the computer isn't as strong and as budget devouring as it could be...
Specs:
Thermaltake Overseer RX-I
Intel i7-4790k
MSI Z97 ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 SLI Plus
AMD R9 290 Sapphire Vapor-X
16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1866 (2x8 PC3 15000)
PNY 240GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD x4 (I think these are the storage devices, I don't really remember)

Watercooling Specs:
x9 XSPC G1/4" to 1/2" ID 3/4" OD V2 Compression Fittings (Black Chrome)
x1 XSPC G1/4" Threaded T-Fitting (Black Chrome) (I wanted a T drain in my loop)
x1 XSPC M20 to G1/4" Fillport (Black Chrome)
x1 XSPC Raystorm CPU Block for Intel
Some 1/2" ID and 3/4" OD Tubing + Distilled water and PT Nuke Biocide
x1 XSPC EX 420 Radiator (It's going outside the chassis)
x1 XSPC Photon 270 with D5 Vario Combo

The setup I hope to be like:
Resevoir>Pump>T-Drain>CPU Waterblock>Radiator>Resevoir.

I understand that some of these parts are overkill for cooling a single proccessor but I plan to expand the loop at a later time.

Please inform me of any mistakes I made when thinking this through, I will be ordering the parts in a few weeks because I found 450$ on the ground in cash :D.

It all looks good. Will you not be watercooling your GPU as well though? Seems like a bit of a waste to spend all that money just on watercooling the CPU.

I feel your pain... Especially if you live in the UK, prices are so inflated there. The only reason I was able to watercool my rig was because I found 400$ on the ground outside my house...

I know... Im thrilled I was able to find the money in such a large amount... I can't help think it was from some drug cartel or something and that gives me chills.... Especially if it was something serious.
