OK moving on from an Antec Kuhler 920 to a customer loop for my i5 3570k.
Need advice on a decent, but not not break the bank block, pump and res.
Already have a XSPC RX240 rad, pipe cutters, 2x black apache 120mm's and some kill coils.
Was thinking on the XPSPC 750 pump/res combo but struggling on the CPU block since soooo many :)
the xspc raystorm is the perfect cpu block if your still looking.
get the xspc raystorm and swiftech pump and xspc rad 360 or 240 and corsair af fans 120mm performance edition and you are gud to go
since you have rad get swiftech pump with res and xspc raystorm
What case are you fitting this to?
Wouldn't recommend a combined 5.25" Res & pump, you have no option for vibration dampening.
I'd choose a Laing pump D5 / DDC over any other on the market, they cost a bit more but the quality and reliability is worth it.

Also with combined pumps if it fails you lose the res as well.
I have always used the laing D5 pumps and never had any problems with them. Expensive but worth every penny.
I have just moved to a EK supremacy block so I would recommend that over a older supreme one.

The x res is good for fitting in a tighter sapce

With the optional pump mount you can mount it in tighter spaces and it eliminates vibration as well.
