Also, they don't have any 360 rads that have fittings at either ends, which is a bit annoying, so I will have to get creative with the tubing, something I am actually looking forward too.
Say you had £2000...

Well here is the basket I currently have sitting at www.scan.co.uk, it's probably my limit. All I need to know now is whether I have the right amount of fittings, and whether they will fit the tubing too.

And I mean at either ends, not one up one down. I will be mounting the rad in the roof, and I wanted one connection to be right next to the bay reservoir, and one next to the cpu block at the other end.
i think the 2Gb GPU is a waste unless u play at huge resess,also that HDD might ot be as fast as the normal F3 or the WD,not sure on the RAD but u will be better with a thermochill
also that much cash on RAM lol thats insane,i havent realy looked at the dominator GT series but ime shure you could find same spec or better for alot less
Get rid of the bluray drive
have you looked at the CM ATCS 840,equaly as big looks equaly as good costs less
if u save some cash get the Koolance block

Ill have a look into your suggestions and make some revisions then! What I can't get at scan i will order from elsewhere.
And I like the Corsair case, im not sure about the CM but i know I can simply screw the RAd into the top of the case without any modding whatsoever.

Also, the GPU is hopefully going to last me a very long time, and for future screen upgrades, thats why im getting it
The eco greens are 5400rpm drives so are slower.
Thermochill ftw still atm rad wise.
Use 7/16 hose with 1/2 barbs. PVC clips are useless. With 7/16 you can use zipties or like I do.... nothing.

So I made some revisions. They don't have the koolance block there but they did have a nice acetal one, to go with all the other black fittings. Just need to know that all the fittings and barbs and tubing etc all fit together. Also, had to change the rad to one with is compatible with the case. One that was in our own review!

youve only ordered 2x 3/8 barbs fella? you dont need those. Just get 1/2 id barbs, and dont get comp fittings as 7/16 hose wont work with them.

I thought it was 1/2 hose? But thanks Tom, Ill change that now.

It says its for 3/8 - 1/2 hose. So shouldnt that fit? Everything I chose was 3/8 so shouldnt it all fit? (yes i am a total W/C noob)

Ah sorry, i didnt see the other posts. Changey Changey changey....
Apparently the Thermochill won't fit in the ATCS Tom, thats what it said in the review that James did for it a while back.

I think I finally get it! 
So I want a Thermochill 120.3 rad, 4 45 degree G1/4 with 1/2 OD? (or ID) and 4 G1/4 compression fittings with 1/2 OD. You say I dont need compression fittings but I like the look of them so I will go with them. And for tubing i need 7/8" tubing, around 3 metres. Am I correct?
Loop is going to go; pump>res>rad>cpu>gpu>pump. Good loop? I'm hoping to get it looking pretty clean, the only problem is that the tube will need to go from the res to the back of the case for the rad. Hopefully I can hide it up top somewhere.

Thats with old spacings on the rads. New ones fit the 840 fine.
The hose you want is 7/16 ID (inside diameter)
bars you want 1/2 and you dont need compression fittings or clips with that config.
if you get compression fittings you have to get 1/2 ID hose. But comps are Fugly and I cant stand them tbh.

Ah thats ok then. Well I really like them so I think I'll just get some 1/2" tubing. The only problem with the Thermochill is the threads on them, they aren't G1/4 but 3/8. And the fittings are 1/4. I really like the black bitspower fittings and dont want to change.
You can get 3/8 to 1/4 adapters.
Means you can run normal barbs on a Thermochill rad.

Hmmmmm. I think for now I'm going to stick with what I have, it all fits together and I can get it from one website (scan).
I don't mind not having the bestest best rad as long as the one I have gets the job done. Thanks for all the advice though, you've really been a great help on the watercooling stuff. I will post a lovely thread with lots of pretty pictures for. And look out, because I'm sure that I will need your help again soon!
Thanks to everyone else, really was nice of you to help such a fool out!
