The scheme:
The PC:
CPU-Z
MB - ASRock X870 Pro RS
CPU - 9950X3D
RAM - 64GB DDR5@6000-30-36-36-76
SSD - SN7100 2TB + Aorus Gen4 2TB
GPU - ASRock RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming
PSU - XPG Cybercore II 1300W
Chassis - Thermaltake Core P8
______________________________________________
The parts for the custom loop:
GPU WB:
Bykski RX 7900 XTX Taichi
CPU WB:
Bykski CPU-XPR-CU-M-V3 (copper body)
Radiators:
3x180mm Alphacool XT45 (45 mm, 12 fpi)
480mm Bykski RC-30 x2 (30 mm, 14/16 fpi)
420mm Bykski RC-28 (28 mm, 14/16 fpi)
120mm Corsair Hydro XR5 (30 mm, 16 fpi)
Fittings and Tube:
Bykski Soft Tube Fitting Kit, 16/10mm (soft tube 3m, fittings x8, 90° fittings x4, plug x2)
Hose Cutter x1
Alphacool HF 16/10mm, 90° x9
Bykski fitting (Male To Male) x3
Bykski Expansion 22-31 mm (Male to Male) x1
Bykski Ball Valve Kit (B) x1
Coolant:
Alphacool Ultra Pure Water 5000ml (x1)
Spray Bottle 500ml

I already have the distro plate Corsair Hydro XD7 (with Xylem D5 Pump), which will be mounted on the backside of the chassis.
The fans:
180mm - SilverStone AP181 (x3 for the 3x180mm Alphacool XT45)
140mm - Arctic P14 Max (x3 for the 420mm Bykski RC-28)
120mm - Arctic P12 Pro (x4 for the 480mm Bykski RC-30)
120mm - Corsair RS120 Max (x4 for the 480mm Bykski RC-30)
120mm - XPG Nidec Vento Pro 120 (x1 for the 120mm Corsair Hydro XR5)
Probably all of the fans will be in a push configuration.
Also, the Sorandy LSJ-ZNRB flowmeter:
Thermaltake Core P8 will be heavily modded in order to accommodate the radiators and the Corsair Hydro XD7.

The questions:
1. Do you think that Bykski RX 7900 XTX Taichi (A-AR7900XTX-X) is compatible with my RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming (RX7900XTX PG 24GO)?
As far as I can see, Taichi and Phantom Gaming use the same PCB, but I am still worried about compatibility issues.
2. How much coolant would I need? Is 5 liters enough?
3. Do you know if Bykski soft tubes are any good?
4. Do you think that I am missing something?
This will be my first custom water-cooling loop, so any advice or suggestions are welcome.
