Hi, im planning on undertaking my first attempt at water cooling. And i would appreciate it if you folks could give me some guidance through the process.
i am planning on water cooling just my gpu, which is the very noisy palit 560ti 2gb. the case i have this card in is very limited in terms of space. lian li q11. i have picked out some parts already but if any of you know of another, possibly better component that would be of great help.
so what i have been looking at so far is the...

Blacknoise Noiseblocker 80mm Multiframe S-Series M8-S3 34.73 CFM

the space i have to work with can been seen in this pic
i was planning on placing the sdd on top of the hdd and turn that 90 degrees so it is laying long ways with the case. this will give me about a 16cm x10cm x 8.8cm (L x W x H) area for the pump. the radiator will go in the front of the case under the front intake assembly.
everything seems to measure out according to specs listed, the only thing i am iffy on are the pumps which may be a tight fit especially once fittings are mounted. besides that the only problems i foresee right now are the the leg mounts getting in the way of the radiator and possibly preventing me from cutting proper holes for the fans.
i know alot of this is hard to imagine without images, ill work on getting some more detailed pictures and diagrams to better help you see what i am imagining.
thanks for your help before hand.
