Hey guys, I'm new at water loops and I'm building a custom water loop for my gaming rig. I have a i7 4790k with Maximus VI mobo and a GTX 780TI and I'm planning to just do cooling for the mobo and the CPU for now and later on the graphics card. I want to know what parts I'll need for the loop and what brands are good for water loops. I know that EK and Koolance are great but their products are on the expensive side. I want parts that have the most value in them and are great to use. Thanks

You can buy the all in one water cooling kits(like the ones that alphacool offers)
points to remember
1)avoid using dyes to color water(it sometimes dyes the water block itself after some time of use)
2)keep the reservoir above the pump
3)make sure the radiators fit in your case before you buy them.
4)if you are a first timer(TAKE YOUR TIME TO CLEAR OUT THE AIR BUBBLES). There are some very good videos in YouTube that will help you out a lot for this
5)compressions fitting cost more but its easy to use and gets a more secure felling over barb fittings(which are completely fine if used correctly)
you can buy those parts here
