First water cooling attempt

[gb1987]

So as you read this will be my first water cooling attempt. I'm wanting to see if there is anything i am missing.

Also I'm only doing the CPU

Mobo- MSI b75ma-45p or something like that
CPU- i5 3570k
Case- thermaltake core V21

Parts list(from amazon)
Pump- Thermaltake Pacific LCS PR22 Pump/res
Block- Universal block from amazon BXQINLENX is the manu
Rad- XSPC EX140
Fittings- XSPC G1/4 to 3/8 6 pack
Tubing- same manu as the block ~6 1/2ft of 3/8 X 1/2 soft tubing clear

As of the moment I'm pretty sure that is all i will need, but again this is the first attempt.
Yes, i could have gone with a better block. But my budget for this experiment is $200.

Any thoughts or tips for doing this in this particular case are welcome. Also if i am missing anything, please chime in.

That $200 would be much better spent on upgrades. You can't overclock your cpu with that motherboard anyway

I guess I'm asking why spend $200 for zero performance gain

TBH this pc is my "test" pc. this is where i try all of my new mods before i do them to my main. Keep in mind my main is in the same case as my test pc, so if this all goes to plan, i will simply move parts over to my main
