I just need help picking out a radiator a pump fittings barbs/compressions/T's/elbows/rotaries, clamps to all fit in my Z11 case and a res

u mean planning out the entire LC almost.

what is your objective? budget?
U can probably spend $400+ on just the fittings unless u tell us how much you want to spend.

i was looking to spend around 400

thats not really going to help us without telling us all your LC eq.

what are u watercooling.

how many loops do you intend to run.

how quiet do you wish to have your LC system.

Take some time and read the sticky on watercooling in the collection of sticky thread.

it should give u a generalized concept of what you should ask.

As Aigo pointed out, we need more information and what your intent is. As a point of reference, if you look at some of the build guides on this forum and at OCN, you will see a reference list of items used in a build. This could help you formulate an idea of where you want to go.

Watercooling schemes can vary wildly, basic fitting if you don't mind tubing running all over the case, snake and 90 degree fittings if you want to clean it up and then what type of tubing, are you wanting to learn acrylic bending?

For instance, I build mine for silence and clean lines, so I probably have 20 fittings that aren't necessary (at $15 + each) just to meet my requirements. I always overbuild the rad space to allow me to run low-speed fans which is a trade off of slightly higher temps. Just sayin...

I read all three of these and they helped a lot. But as others have said... you need to specify what you want to cool and the specs. Cooling a highly OCed cpu and 2 high power cards is very different than just the cpu alone, etc etc.
