Help me revamp my terribad 800D loop

[Z Overlord]

Too me that XSPC thing is pretty convenient, yeah not super effective but I'm only cooling a cpu and 5850 (those don't get hot) I'm not doing for better temps, but more convenience/ease. It's not like that pump/res combo will make my 29C idle GPU temp go to something very high.

Can the XSPC thing accept compression fittings? If so then that's great. And can't I just put a new TIM heat sink on the NB and the other chip?

So let's see, list:

Compression fittings:

last compression fitting (for rad):

:\ seems rather pricy Why can't water cooling be less niche? It seems like only like 3 sites in the word sell what you want @_@

No way you should replace the pump you have with that XSPC combo as you currently have one of the best available. If you want a bay res, get a single one and use it with your current pump. There are also res's available from Koolance that integrate with your pump if you are wanting to go that route. If you're wanting something more flashy, the bitspower fittings you are ordering and that GPU block will take care of that aspect. Just put some thought into cable and tube routing and component placement and you can make it look awesome with the equipment you already have.

Honestly, that doesn't look bad to me. Only thing is you've basically taken up almost all of your front panel slots with the rad's tubings and micro res. You might not care about that, but I'd recommend mounting a tube res in between all that space on the right side in the motherboard tray area.

Also, you could flip the radiator so the ports are at the rear (I usually mount my rads this way). I think it'll clean up some tube clutter in the front portion.
