I can't stop thinking about this, Summer's around the corner and I'd like to maybe get back in watercooling. I don't have any GPU cooling going on though :( I swap video cards too often.

MCR320 QP Rad
Variable Speed d5/mcp655 pump
XSPC Res Top
Bitspower Compression Fittings
XSPC Rasa Block
10ft Primochill White 7/16 ID 5/8 OD tubing

Mounted in an 800D
3 x Scythe S-Flex E Exhaust fans
Rear Intake GT-AP14

Total Cost a little under $300
 
Looks like a kick ass start though you might consider a silver kill coil or some kind of biocide to keep the slime at bay. I wouldn't change much else.

I've got the D5 vario and a more complex loop than that and I can run it at 3 without any real negative cooling effect compared to the louder speeds.
 
Do you plan on adding GPU cooling at all? You could always get a universal GPU block.

Also, why'd you pick S-Flex fans for your rad?
 
I actually did plan on the kill coil, just forgot to include it ><

I didn't really choose the s-flex's perse but I have them already in my rig!
 
I second the universal GPU block recommendation. Unless you're trying to reach large overclocks with overvoltage, a universal block will do just fine.
 
I would add 3 more fans and do a push/pull since that case can easily handle that ( I am currently running Push->shroud->rad->Pull and the temps are great with low noise.
 
I dont like the variable speed 655 pumps personally. I say get the fixed speed pump. Its SOOOO quiet anyways. Believe me you wont hear it and you will also not have to fiddle with speed controls and yada yada yada,
 
yeah the variable speed 655 I would just go with the regular 655 I have one and you can't hear a dime. Also the variable speed is more.
 
Well, I didn't get exactly what was listed above but today I just ordered:

XSPC Rasa Block
XSPC 6970 FC Block
Swiftech MCR320 QP Rad
Danger Den RAD Reservoir
XSPC DDC Acrylic Top
10ft Primochill White 7/16 ID 5/8 OD tubing
10x Dangerden Fatboy 1/2" Barbs w/ 10 spring clamps
IandH Killcoil

Gotta get a mcp350 off of the overclock.net forum

What/where the hell do I get bolts for mounting the fans to the radiator? I have a bunch I got from Ace hardware once upon a time with matching finger nuts but they may be too long or the wrong thread >< I sold one of my 6950's and will be selling my h70 to help fund this setup.
 
And here it all is put together! If anyone has 2 of the same hose clamps for 7/16" ID 5/8" OD to spare let me know, I was short 2 so I left them off of the radiator for now ><

Looks fantastic! It looks like you have a little patriotic theme going on, haha.
