Hello,
Could you suggest a WC build for these parts?
Thanks

You have the option to proceed in stages.
D5 pump (may include res like https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-xres-140-re...cl-sl-pump)
Approximately 240-320 resistors (for CPU only, 240 is sufficient; for CPU+GPU, 320 and above works). I prefer the Alphacool ST30 XFlow rads because of their adaptability.
CPU block – EK Supremacy Evo is a solid choice, but today I’d consider one of these:

possibly a variant or vision

there is no real need to cool the GTX 970 with water.
the decision relies on your budget.

It's quite simple, mainly for appearance. A budget of about 300 to 400 euros is reasonable.

300-400 euro represents a reasonable budget for a custom loop. However, I would skip the GPU. The GPU block would cost 130-150 euro and isn't transferable to the next card. 970 just doesn't justify itself. What case do you have to get an idea of what fits?
