I will be using distiller water and a kill coil
Is this setup good for a CPU and Gpu, Pump/Res>Rad>CPU>Gpu>Reservoir
If I'm missing anything can you tell me

Side note I plan on over locking the CPU (4770k) as far as possible and same with the Gpu (r9 290)
 
Solution
1. Unless I miscounted, you are short two fittings.
2. The res should be right before the pump. I think that is how you planned it but I could't tell so I figured I would mention it.
3. That is kind of a really bad radiator. I would suggest just about anything else. If you really like Black Ice, the SR1 is good and goes okay with those fans.
4. I don't think you have enough rad either way. Your GPU link is actually not working but it *looks* like a 290x. With fairly low speed fans, I think your loop is going to be overworked.
I'd add at least another 120 rad, probably a 240 since you're gonna really push your cpu and gpu. Unless you're really set on the noctua's, you can get the same performance with some slightly cheaper fans. I believe frozencpu sells gentle typhoons for under 20 and they work great and are just as quiet. Also, you need a case to put this all into.

I took your advice and went for the typhoons
 

1. How many are there supposed to be cause I can just change the number
2. Yes it will be under the res
3. What rad would u suggest
4. What's a Gpu link,and what looks like a 290x

 


He just means the link to the waterblock you provided. That exact link doesn't seem to be working. For me it doesn't too btw.
