Hi everyone,
I'm watercooling my PC (mainly to learn overclocking and how to watercool), I have a Raedon RX 460 2GB by PowerColor (link: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a...00a1700053) and an Intel i3 6100 attached to an ASRock Z170. The case I'm using is Phanteks Evolv 400S. I just put together a list of parts for my watercooling loop and wanted to know if you think it's good to go and compatible from the community, before I went ahead and ordered; I will be re-using the fans and radiator later on for another build (i7) so going for the best quality I could find based on reviews I came across. I'll highly appreciate if you take time to respond. (oh, and do let me know if I'm missing something or there is anything that I should consider)

The connections seem intended for flexible tubing rather than PETG. You should use the appropriate fittings for rigid tubing to avoid significant leaks. The RAM block isn't necessary—it mainly adds an appearance and slight restriction. I also don't think a pump is included, unless you forgot to mention it.

Oh, you're right about the fittings being for soft tubing, I'll fix that now. For the pump, I hadn't included it before, but I'm considering the Switech MCP655 (http://www.performance-pcs.com/swiftech-...-bare.html).
