so recently i've picked up a GTX Titan X and im looking to watercool just the GPU. i already have a water cooler for my CPU but im looking to custom water cool my GPU, and i don't want to cool it with an AIO water cooler. i want to fully water cool it. but its my first time doing this sort of stuff and im not sure what stuff ill need to do it all. these are the stuff i have on my mind to get

- Titan X Acetal Nickel Water Cooling Block EKWB
- EKWB CoolStream SE 120 Water Cooling Radiator

im not sure what pump and reservoir to get, and im not sure what accessories ill need for this either. this is my first time doing this so i need help with what stuff i need to get. i don't have any space for a 240mm radiator so ill have to go with a 120mm radiator.

Low cost watercooling?! Well..... let's dig into the vaults of "before there were PC specific parts" - barb fittings, metal tube clamps, and kink resistant tubing. Tubing and clamps can be found at home improvement stores but I'd get barbs online designed for PC use because of the coatings and corrosion resistance. Watch the additive you put in your water (if any) and only use distilled water. NEVER use tap or "drinking" water. 3/8" ID is perfectly adequate. I'd buy a new case before I'd buy a small radiator. You have a Titan X! Don't skimp. http://amzn.to/2yFzhhz <-- that reservoir works perfectly on the MCP50x. Just need to clip a section of paper clip to use as the pin to align it as the one it comes with is too short.

I think it's the Swiftech MCP 50x. SATA power connector and PWM support. Awesome little pump. Super good flow. Amazon usually has a good price. Primochill has great compression fittings and tubing if you want soft line. 3/8 x 1/2 is perfectly good. 1/2 x 5/8 will get you a degree or two improvement at best and take up a lot more space.

okay. i've made a little list of things i will need to get.

- Titan X Acetal Nickel Water Cooling Block EKWB
- EKWB CoolStream SE 120 Water Cooling Radiator
- Pacific R15 Water cooling 200ml Reservoir from Thermaltake
- Swiftech MCP50X

now i need a list for the accessories, like fittings, tubing etc. and is there any compatibility issues with any of these parts? and is there any way to cut down the price of these things? or is this the best for the money. also, can someone make a list for all the accessories i will need? this is my first time doing this so i don't know what sort of stuff i will need to buy after i've bought these parts and i don't know what size tubing i should get or anything like that so i need a list that you guys think is best.
