Hello all,
I was thinking about adding a liquid cooling system to my new rig (first time ever). I currently run:

Graphics Card = EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC
=EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC
CPU = Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00 Ghz
RAM = 16.00 GB RAM DDR3 1866
Monitor = 2560 x 1440, 144Hz (ASUS ROG SWIFT)
Hard Drive = Samsung 256 GB SSD 830 Series
= Western Digital 1 TB HDD
= Seagate 2 TB HDD
Cooling = Corsair Hydro Series H100i
Case = Corsair Obsidian 750D
Motherboard = GIGABYTE Gaming 7 LGA 1150 ATX
Power Supply = Full Modular RM 1000 Gold 80 Plus

My systems temps for:
CPU = 30 C Idle - 50 C on full load (However I want to OC)
GPU 1 = 60 C Idle - 75-80 C full load
GPU 2 = 40 C Idle - 70-75 C full load

I want as much advice that everyone is willing to give me. I have built a few rigs but never got in to liquid cooling. This being the system I've spent the most $$$$ on, I would like to go all the way with it. I just ordered full modular custom nylon cables and I have no idea on where the best place to get parts for liquid cooling, how much is it, how hard is it to do, and if should I even consider doing it myself? If anyone can point me in the right direction to get started and maybe throw estimates on what I'm looking to spend. This would be most appreciated. Thank you for reading and I look forward to hearing back from experienced users.

Generally I order from frozencpu, http://www.frozencpu.com/

They have a good selection of parts to choose from. Get at least two 280mm Rads if your going with one big loop. The best pump for this is probably the Swiftech MCP655. Nice build though.
