PC water-cooling project part 1: Ordering all the parts

We ordered everything we need to put together the cooling loop, including tubing, a cutter and reamer. Here's everything we received before getting started.

As well as ordering everything you can see in a PC case with a completed setup — tubing, fittings, pump, reservoir and radiator — there are various parts and tools you need to help you connect all the components and ensure everything is secure to avoid leaks when assembling a water cooling setup. Liquid and electronics don't mix well, and that combination is absolutely the worst case scenario for any PC build. It's rare but can occur, so we'll need to make sure we're confident and take our time.

The case we will be installing everything into is the Thermaltake Core P5, which was specifically designed for this kind of cooling. Thus, we should encounter no issues, but it's a good idea to double check your own case to see if it's possible to mount a pump, reservoir, radiator and more.
