My first WC build

[EPiiKK]

Hello!
Im planning on building my first (properly) watercooled system, i've build systems with stuff like H80s and h100s in the past but no custom loops.
Heres my plan

With the Bitfenix shinobi XL case.

Any thoughts on improvements, tips to give or other suggestions?

I might later on add gpu to the loop but currently im running single gtx 560 and its not worth watercooling imo.

I also know the pump isn't right and I need suggestions with it, i want tube res with a pump. I'm also gonna plan the fittings more later when i get time to.

A bit more details about your rig would help, CPU - overclocks etc.

My current rig is:
i5-3570k stock volts @4.2Ghz
Asus gtx 560 (1.025v Core@930mhz)
8GB Kingston 1600mhz ram
Msi Z77a-GD43

Stock (auto) means the motherboard changes it itself and will 100% be overvolting it. You need to set it manually.

I know mate, but the thing with my mobo is, it doesn't allow to... -.-
Gotta love Msi not mentioning it anywhere.
I've been looking for a way to bypass but i haven't found a way. ( I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to hardware )¨

But back to topic, is there any improvements or changes to be made other than the pump?
