Hello guys this my first time writing here, im looking to watercool my r9 290. I bought this card used with waterblock so i decided to watercool it. Im only looking to watercool my gpu for now because i already have my cpu watercooled (antec h2o 650). i have this blockhttps://shop.ekwb.com/ek-fc-r9-290x-acetal-nickel-rev-2-0 Im hoping for help choosing everything:) (radiator,tubing,fittings,pump). For radiator i looked for this https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-coolstream-se-240-slim-dual. For pump and fittings i dont have any idea and i will use soft tubing. Thank you for help.:)
 
Nice! For the rad you'll need a pair of EK-Vardar 120mm high static pressure fans.

Primochill LRT for tubing. 1/2" ID. Come is all kinds of neat colors. Avoid using colored fluids. Distilled water and some biocide will work just fine. Colored tubing if you want to add some color.

Case is a bit small so you might want to look into a rad/pump combo as you have limited space. You'll also need some fittings for the rad, video card block along with clamps unless you go with compression fittings.
 
Any suggestions for rad+pump combo? And what is biocide?
