Fractal Design Arc Mini Fully Watercooled Gaming Rig

[Lexxikonn]

I want to build a high performance mATX gaming rig in the Fractal Design Arc Mini in the near future. It will most likely be based around these components:

• Asus Maximus V Gene Z77 mATX mobo
  
• Ivy Bridge processor
  
• 16gb corsair vengeance
  
• EVGA gtx680 hydro copper (or equivalent)
  
• SeaSonic / Corsair AX modular ~800W psu
  
• Some SSD's and HDD
  

However, this would be my first custom watercooled build, so I need at bit of advice with the watercooling components.

I found this thread on another forum where a guy has made an almost identical rig to the one I want to make (link)...

He is using Black Ice Pro II rads, and a D5 Vario Pump with XSPC res... He is also using Coolermaster Sickleflow fans.

Can anyone reccommend me some radiators / pump with res (or separate cylindrical style res) and suitable fans for my build (pref red LED).

Many thanks.

Also found this similar watercooled build.

The coolermaster sickleflow fans are quite loud btw, i can't wait to get rid of mine !, I'm gonna be going for some Scythe Gentle Typhoon's 1850/rpm for my case, as for the radiator best fans on the market for them at the moment are the Noctua NF-F12's.

if you want it to light up just grab some LED strips, NZXT do a couple of nice pairs 100cm & 200cm kits

Wow, the NF-F12's look great... I already have a NH-D14 cooling my system atm and I'm really pleased with it. But £17 apiece?! That means my rig is going to cost £120 in fans alone! Well... I guess you have to pay for performance
