water cooling questions

[volco902]

hello, im looking to upgrade the cooling end of my pc. And I'd like to get a custom kit (im not sure what they are really called) and i need some guidance for what needs to be bought. I would like to watercool my cpu (amd fx 8350) and my gpu (zotac 680gtx refrence). heres what i was plan to get...

im still a bit confused on fittings and tube sizes. I don't really plan on doing any serious oc'ing this is mainly for quiet performance. is there anything else i will need to ensure that both my cpu and my gpu can be cooled at once? I want to make sure i get everything i need so things run smoothly, thanks!

First place for an intrepid water-cooler is the water cooling sticky, it will explain everything you need to know to get a basic idea of what your doing and how to do it.

Might require a few reads for everything to really click into place.

The sticky has a good explanation on fitting/tubing sizes.

I feel that a single 240mm radiator wont be enough for what your looking to cool, or at least not without jet turbines for fans. You want want to consider adding in another radiator to the loop.
