i am building a custom liquid cooling for cpu only. What kind of pump should i get? I am getting XSPC RX360 Radiator V3 for Computer Water Cooling Systems, Swiftech Apogee XL CPU Waterblock, Swiftech MCP35X Reservoir, Revision 2B and now i need a pump. I need a cheap liquid cooling pump that last me for awhile.

The MCP35x that goes with the res you have selected is a great pump. The MCP350x is the budget version; I haven't personally used it but I have heard good things about it. Alternately, swiftech makes a CPU block with a built in MCP35x that may save you a couple of dollars. The MCP655 is probably the cheapest "good" pump you're going to find; I think performancepcs has them for like 65.

Actually only handful of pump model but each company named it differently..
If I'm not wrong the tops one is Laing D5 vario pump.. but yeah they are pricy..

but seems u using swiftecth reservoir why don't u by a combo pump+reservoir from swiftech..
it will remove the hassle and make sure they compatible for each other..
no need to by extra parts/base/housing (MCP35X pump+reservoir)..

edit: the diffrent in price usually because of the housing/base.. (so it fit the reservoir design, etc)
bare pump is quite cheap comparably ..

I ma using a phobya dc12 260 in my build with two rads and a couple of angle connectors, it is working flawlessly and is quieter than any low speed fan i got in my system, if you would feel more is required can go one model up, these are great pumps in my opinion
