So I made my 1st pc over an year ago and starting learning more and more about hardware; overclocking etc. Recently I decided to give water-cooling a try and made some research about it. I decided that for the sake of my personal quest for knowledge and learning something new, to not just go for an aio water cooler and no kits either ( I want to pick all the parts by myself separately. My budget isn't too big; i'd say no more than 150$ but that's fine by me; in my opinion you learn how to pick smart when you don't just have a bag full of money and you learn better the performance/ cost worth (anyone can just pick the best parts).
So,while doing some shopping I have more or less made a list of all things i'll need.
For this loop i'll be only trying to water-cool my cpu of course

This leaves 2 components that as far as am aware I am missing. The pump and tubing.
about the tubing' i'd like to know in what dimensions i should buy them and how long they should be (I don't want too much extra tubing). I also prefer soft tubing for now..
regarding to the pump... I have no idea what I should be looking for? I saw different type of pumps but I have no idea if they should be the ones i need. This pump would be used for mild overclocking and not to push to the absolute extreme per say.
I believe the full loop should look something like this: http://image.prntscr.com/image/b70d0b33dd3b4ea19e849a11b06c33fd.png
