I am in the market to build a custom loop for my little PC. I was considering the Kraken X62 but would prefer to build a 280mm rad with CPU/GPU blocks. Never done it before but it looks pretty simple

Can anyone advise what products I should be looking at?

My PC spec is in my signature. Everything needs to fit in to an NZXT H400i
 
can go with some Bykski products over at www.bykski.co.za

Will need:
Pump
Reservoir
(Combo of the above 2 would be easier)
280
CPU block
GPU block
Fittings (either soft or rigid tube)
Coolant (for this I would start off with something like distilled with some kind of biocide??? )

280 though for CPU and GPU may not be the best... maybe 280 and 240 for that case (if can push for a 360 and if it fits)

EDIT: ok I see that case is pretty limited to radiators

Looks like I may as well not do the GPU due to space constraints and a AIO 280mm for CPU only would be best considering price. I looked at the EK stuff and it is very pricey

yeah, for your case that seems like the best option

yeah the EK stuff is pricey and recently on an import with another Carbie, we got hit quite hard

ofc you can try source through Rebel, but usually when they don't have stock, it may only end up taking a few weeks

I live in Qatar in the Middle East so all my goodies come direct from Amazon. No import fees as well so it is a very attractive option.
 
Don’t forget the fans.
Can’t cool anything without them
