Eta Carinae upgrade an custom loop

Tripp

too many shrooms
ok so i have had a bit of a shit time of late loosing someone close, so i have decided to bury my head in a project to help me out a lil.

so to start me off on my upgrade path, i have gotten my hands on an fx8350 and a gigabyte 990fxa ud5, these will be replacing my current fx6100 and msi 990xa gd55. i also plan on replacing my gpu, as i want a full watercooling loop (i know my gpu ain't too old but, i am passing it to a friend so he can get his pc up an running), i had a gtx780 in mind a reference card obviously the cheapest one i can find.

now on to my loop, i have a alphacool 2x120 60mm thick rad already, and will be buying a alphacool monsta 2x120. for my pump i want to use a d5, but i do no wish to use a bay res, so i could use some input on good small reservoirs. i could also use some input on my fittings, tubing and coolant , i am looking for clear tubing and was thinking of clear coolant but i may go for a pastel blue.

thats about it for now, i hope i got that across ok an sorry if i didn't, i am scatter brained at the best of times let alone over the last few days. anyway thanks for stopping by

Sorry to hear of your loss first and foremost pal :(

Will you be using the Fractal Midi 2 for the enclosure?

That always seems to be the way with pics :(

Right next question, budget?

Or a rough figure of what you'd be looking to spend, something to work with...

yeah i will try take some fresh pics, as i will be opening her up soon. my budget (i am guessing you mean for the watercooling parts) is about £300/£350
