There isn't really a set budget as of yet and this build is by no means set in stone. I don't plan to water-cool the GPU because I don't play graphics intensive games. This computer is going to be doing my compiling and possibly video rendering/compression. I'm not sure if the PSU is enough with all the additions. As you can probably tell the color theme is blue/green. I plan to build an external tower for the radiator, and possibly build a completely custom case if I get the initiative. I think that's all I have to say about it so if anyone has any comments, suggestions, questions, etc they'd be greatly appreciated.
 
The fittings are the barbs that actually go into the radiator resivoir and cooling blocks. Andif you live near a micro center you can pick up a 930 for$199 until may
 
I knew there was something I forgot to ask. I know what fittings are but I wasn't sure if I need to swap out any of the stock barbs or not, any suggestions?
 
I don't think the radiatior has fittings, but as long as the fittings are the same size I would guess no, but I advise you to ask that question in the water cooling section.

By the way, thanks for the tip about the 930's on sale.
