Hey guys ..
I hope you can help me .. I am planning to buy a water cooling system .. The question is simply what do I need to .. It is now not so I have no previous clue what I'm doing only in the field I'm new .. It's installed something other than a h100i .. =) Here is the stuff I want to cool .. :

Specs:
CASE: Corsair Obsidian 800D
CPU: AMD FX8350
GPU: Asus R9 290x (maybe a 2nd)

If you need more info just say =)

Basically I need everything from pump radiator to the cooling block ..

I hope you can help me .. I'm open to many suggestions ..

Thank you

I'm basing this on my post in another recent W/C advice thread, so
some stuff is copy/paste from there:

• Pump: For a combined CPU/GPU loop: D5 vario with a custom pump top, for example
  this one or this one. I'm not a fan of bay reservoir/pump combos because the pumps can
  transfer vibrations to the case in those. Also, I recommend staying away from Koolance
  pump tops, they have a tendency to fail from what I've seen/read. I personally have the
  Alphacool pump top and am pretty happy with it.
• CPU block: pick whichever one you like, maybe read a few reviews if you really
  want to. They all perform very similarly these days, it doesn't really matter which one
  you pick form a performance POV.
• GPU block: Have a look around at a few reviews and see which one you like,
  for example this one. But again, differences are small if we're being honest,
  pick what you like.
• I highly recommend having a look at martin's liquid lab's radiator section.
  Personally I have an Alphacool UT60 360, an XT45 480 and two SR-1's 560 and can
  recommend all of them, especially for low fan speeds. See PM for more details.
• Tubing: I've seen Primochill's Advanced LRT recommended quite a few times now.
  Personally I run 16/10 mm and can recommend that size (not too bulky, but good kink
  resistance). Alternatively, Norprene is excellent as well, but has a bit of a different look,
  which you may or may not like. Or of course, you can go acrylic.
• Fittings: W/e you like. Some people prefer compressions, other prefer barbs with or
  without clamps (I've seen 7/16" ID tubing and 1/2" barbs being advocated a few times).
  I've had decent experiences with Alphacools' compression fittings and Monsoon ones
  so far.
• Reservoir: I recommend tube reservoirs, but of course you can pick a bay res as well.
  Doesn't really matter that much, pick what you like.
• Fans: The venerable Gentle Typhoons are still excellent IMO when it comes to 120's.
  Alternatively, Noctua, Noiseblocker eLoops (Phobya and Alphacool also sell versions of
  those), Gelid, Cougar are what I've seen recommended as well. Cougar and Noctua also
  make decent 140's if you're going that route, as do Noiseblocker. But this also depends
  on what rpm you're looking for, I'm a bit biased towards the lower end of the spectrum.
• Coolant: I'm not an expert on that as I've been running the same one for the last few
  years (Aquacomputer's clear stuff), but I have seen quite a few people having problems
  with Mayhems Pastel. Aside from that it doesn't really seem to matter much which one
  you pick, they all do pretty much the same things AFAIK.
