Hello all,

Okay. I need to pull the trigger on my first WC build. I am tired of looking at some nice WC builds. I need to get one too!

I've done my research and already have some parts in mind, but still not sure about them. I could prolly get the XSPC kit to save some money. I also want to build as quiet as possible. Hate the noise, though. Only the cpu will be WC cooled at this time. Here is what I have on mind. Please be sure to add or correct me.

Radiator: XSPC RX360, Black Ice GT Stealth 360mm, Black Ice GTX360 360mm.

CPU block: EK Supreme HF Nickel Plexi.

Pump: XSPC X2O 750 Dual 5.25. This one comes with a reservoir as far as I can tell.

I've no idea what tubes to get. There are lots of them and all kinds diameters. I also need quiet fans. Please be sure to add the parts I am missing.

Thanks.
 
Gentle Typhoon are popular for quiet fans.
Some prefer Tygon tubing, but if you do not need to do extreme bends - well, I prefer some of the slightly less expensive varieties.... (Would rather spend the cash on nice fittings).
I prefer 1/2" ID tubing - but that is just personal (and, well I am WC the GPU, CPU, etc...) so more flow is good.
 
Don't get that pump. Once you start expanding your watercooling, that pump will become insuficient.
