I would like to get some help with what parts I should get for my new computer. I am brand new to water cooling and I dont have the money to mess up. I would like to go with acrylic tubing but have heard that it is hard to do as a beginner. I've heard that Primochill's Primoflex is one of the best plastic tubing. I am looking to spend $200 or less but will spend up to $250.

Parts I have so far:
Koolance CPU-380A Water Block
Swiftech MCR220-QP dual 120mm Radiator
Thermaltake PT40 Pump+ Tank

Components:

Yes, acrylic tubing is very hard to do as a beginner, and it is even a pain for an expert. Primochill Primoflex is a very good tubing. You will also need to buy: the fittings and the water-coolant. I recommend Enzotech fittings for a budget builds, but the fittings are some of the most expensive parts. Also choose whatever color coolant you want, maybe if you are getting Primochill tubing you could get the Primochill coolant.

I would recommend making a sketch before you do your water cooling so that you know exactly how many fittings and tubing pieces you are going to need. This is also handy when you are assembling to have a reference to.
