hi all, I have a fan cooled computer, but i would like to change my system to a EWKB liquid cooled setup. (or maybe another solution?)

But i have no idea, what i need, adapters, fittings, wires, hoses, tubing, coolants, pumps, reservoirs, plates, back-plates, thermal pads, thermal greases and etc. (i find the configurator useful, but doesn't explain, what I need and then there is so many versions of the items...that I don't really understand it all.)

This is my system:
CASE: Phanteks Enthoo Primo Special Edition (PH-ES813P_SGR)
MOBO: Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme U3.1 X99
CPU: Intel i7-5930K (BX80648I75930K)
RAM: G.Skill 128GB Ripjaws V (F4-3000C14Q2-128GVKD)
GPU: 3x Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan X (Maxwell)
M.2/ NVMe: Samsung 950Pro 512GB (Operating System)
SSD: Samsung 850Evo 256GB, Samsung 850Pro 512GB

Also am using NOCTUA fans, will these be usable for the EKWB liquid cooling setup?
2x Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 PWM Fan
2x Noctua NF-F12 PWM Cooling Fan
2x Noctua NF-S12B redux-1200
6x Noctua NF-P14s redux-1200 Fan

would be thankful for any pointers, and guidance to what i need.
 
Solution
You can use soft tube or rigid tube (PETG, nickel/chromium plated brass pipe, and borosillicate glass), personally I choose water cooling because sometime I need faster result (by OC), others for aesthetic. What about you? now the steps

    ■ Googling with keyword " water cooled enthoo primo", find your "love at first sight loop" and show us, after that we'll guide you to buying options all the way to finished assembly.
    ■ Limitations :
  • PSU, this will determined the maximum fans + pump(s) + accessory
    ■ Your room temperature

    ■ These are what you can procure at the time being

  • https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-xe-360-triple , probably still the best 360mm rad out there and the fact that you own eight 140mm fans.■ either D5 (PWM or Vario) or DDC 3.2 standalone pump, the plan is to loop CPU+three Titan X so 4 gallon/minute capable pump.
    (pressure drop estimate, 0.5 EK Supremacy EVO + 3*0.5 EK FC Titan X full cover + 2*0.5 EK Coolstream XE + 1.0 joints) at 1GPM your CPU and GPUs will have decent flow rates.
some inspiration
