right lets have a go

1 - cpu choice - is it just for overclocking or are you going to use it day to day.

if its day to day then the dual core is what you want.

2 - pump if you want to run more than 1 radiator then you will need a better pump than the xspc ones, get a ddc pro pump with a xspc res top for it

3 - xspc delta 3 cpu block, best about imo

4 - radiator, get what fits your rig, if its just a cpu loop a 240mm rad will be fine but a 360 will help further upgrades

5 - 1/2 barbs and 7/16 hose is the best combo personaly

Coolant doesnt really matter feser or primochill ftw

1 - cpu choice - is it just for overclocking or are you going to use it day to day.

if its day to day then the dual core is what you want. yes overclocking and full daily use

2 - pump if you want to run more than 1 radiator then you will need a better pump than the xspc ones, get a ddc pro pump with a xspc res top for it

3 - xspc delta 3 cpu block, best about imo

4 - radiator, get what fits your rig, if its just a cpu loop a 240mm rad will be fine but a 360 will help further upgrades
