i am assuming this is gonna be a dual loop system?
Because you already have too many surplus parts for a dual loop, and overkill surplus parts for a single loop.

Also i would not trust aliexpress..... there is just so many things wrong with that place.

I think the numbers are just their place in the list, not the quantity.



I wouldn't bother with the ram cooling, it really won't do much. Depending where you are you might just be better off buying local. I've gotten some Barrow fittings and whatnot from Aliexpress, and while they were a little cheaper it wasn't worth waiting a month to get them.

For your first build, I'd stay away from rigid tubing. Unless you're much more meticulous than I am, you'll end up fiddling and repositioning things a lot, which is enough of a pain with standard tubing.
