So I'm pretty much set on my water cooling components for my first ever wc'ed build, but I'm kinda stuck on the loop. I was just wondering what you would feel is the tidiest way to make this loop with my components. Feel free to voice your opinion on different components, I'm all for suggestions. One thing I'm simply not a fan of is bay reservoirs or bay combos. I just feel it looks silly with the sagging tubes because you have to pull it out to fill, and I do need an optical drive so Tom's fill port trick wont work on my Switch 810 due to the amount of bays. I also don't like the clashing look of the XSPC black metal front plate with my matte Switch's finish. So enough with my explanations, here is what i have decided on:
-XSPC RS 360 (only doing CPU for now, and if later on I want my GPU added, an RX 240 is always an option)
-XSPC Raystorm (Well, it's amazing in price, looks, and performance)
-EK DCP 4.0 Pump (quiet and I think it looks nice)
-EK Res combo for the 4.0 pump (well, it's made for the pump
)
So I was just wondering if the below loop would work, as I'm not sure if mounting the pump/res is even possible there. Also, I'm not 100% about the barbs being at the front, but since the rad is only 35mm and I'm only using pull on the top for fans, I'm pretty sure 2 90 degree fittings will fit just fine.
So, any suggestions?
