New NZXT S340 custom liquid cooled system

Hardware Build a PC

Hi all.

I need some advice.  I haven't created a custom liquid cooled system with hard tubing before.  Below is my estimated parts for the custom loop, a link to the pcpartpicker list of computer pieces, and an image of the planned layout.  Think I am missing anything or have any recommended changes?  Thanks for the advice.

that case is beautiful. I want one too.

I dont know about the radiator in the top fan mount though, NZXT doesn't mention radiator compatibility for that slot and by the placement it looks like a radiator/fan combo there would interfere with motherboard heatsinks and ram. 

I wanted to make a similar setup as yours, but am now going to plan on using a thick radiator on the back 120 fan. If it works out with a radiator in the top mount, please post it here. thanks

I was going to put a radiator in the rear 120 spot.  I could mount one on top if the radiator was 25mm or thinner. Fan would have to be on top of the case.  The other option would be fan in the case and radiator on top.

I guess i missed that you hadn't put a radiator in the top slot, my bad.

How about using a Swiftech H220-X and expanding it?

I want to use a 280 MM radiator for the graphics card and I want to use hard tubing.  Due to that the h220 would not be cost effective because the only part I would use is the water block.
