First Time watercooling for my Skylake Build

Actually I was just thinking. Why not just remove the filters from the case instead of moving the whole rig around. I do the same with mine say every 4-6 months tops. That way you won't have to worry about it as much. Also, keep the rig above the floor level. I like to keep mine on top of the desk. Dust can impede in the cooling performance once the fins on the rads are covered in dust.

Yea I might just do that, and Yes I have my case on my desk all the time as well, given the fact that my case is very heavy even though its a midtower I guess moving it around might be hard on my back, here is the case in case you're interested: Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX

Ok, i've been thinking a lot about the build design but can not figure out how to setup my drain valve, can you help me out? my pump/res will be the lowest part of the liquid cooling, and I'm confused to wheater I should setup the drain valve on the inlet or outlet port of the Pump/res and If I set it up on the outlet which is going to the 360 radiator on top, I should use 3 different extention/fittings to get the thing setup which might not look good, so far the best I can comeup with is ...... Pump Outlet---->G1/4 Male to Male Rotary Fitting----->Bitspower T Fitting------90 degree rotary fitting----> compression fitting and use the valve on the bottom port of the Bitspower T Fitting, can you help me with some ideas please?
 
I thought you were using the NZXT H440 as the case since its in your component listing. Also check out the Corsair Air 540 if you're case shopping.

Show us a picture of your case and a diagram of how you want your setup to be by using paint. Think of it as a blue print.
