I've literally never used Microsoft Paint in my entire life so I apologize for how hideous it is. ._.

My only concern with this setup is the end of my GPU potentially being a little too long to mount the res/pump. I have a plan b that's guaranteed to work if that's the case...But yeah. NZXT S340 Elite chassis, 95% EK components and a couple fittings from XSPC that I couldn't find in EK's inventory.

What do you think?
Any advice? Comments?

I think that probably have enought clearance to mount the reservoir/pump between the radiator and the 1080. You have 334mm clearance - the reservoir and the card is more or less 285.

Another isssue is that you have a 240mm radiator at the intake airflow and only a 120 at the exaust, most of the heat you are generating will go directly inside the case.

If you dont have purchased the case i think it's better to choose a case that allow you a 240mm radiator at top and use the 240(top)+120(rear) as exaust ones and add a couple of intake fans at front.

^The items I bought from EK using the custom loop configurator

I also bought the front 280mm radiator from Bitspower; EK didn't have a slim enough 280mm radiator. The Bitspower radiator is 29.6mm thick.

The build is an intel 7700k and I have the appropriate mounting bracket for the CPU block, as well as enough fan headers etc on the ATX mobo.

The XSPC components are for the drain system. Basically involving a female G1/4" female T fitting with a valve (connected to the fitting with a male to male) and a plug at the other end to ensure it won't leak...in the unlikely event.
