Hey guys, So this is my first water cooling system I'll be using and my first custom build. I recently just finished building my first PC for gaming. For CPU cooling I decided on a custom water cooling loop.
Currently My setup is:
Case: Rosewill Blackhawk Mid-Tower
Motherboard: MSI Z97 U3 Plus
CPU: Intel i5 4690k w/Stock cooler
Ram: 2 x 4gb G.Skill Ares
PSU: EVGA Supernova 750 B2
Graphics: (Upgrading to Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 Soon)
Hard Drives: 1x Crucial 240Gb SSD 1x Seagate 1TB HDD
Drive Bay: 1x Asus DVD Burner
So, after doing my research this is how I'd want to design my loop.

So far this is my current system setup, modified to fit 2 x 120mm radiators with the Hard drive rack hidden in the drive bay.
There is still room in the drive bay for a reservoir.
These are the parts I decided on for my build. What do you guys think?
Reservoir: Swiftech MCRES-Micro Hi-Flo Reservoir (SFF) - 3/8 & 1/2in (Rev 2)
