New Build... Advice needed

[Cheers!]

Hey everyone... I've been reading up on your forums for a while and also have been surfing the Dazmode store for a while. Almost ready to press the buy button, but wanted everyone's thoughts on this watercooling setup. It will be my first water cooled build. And also first PC build in about 10 years.

parts:
i7 4770k (going to overclock to the moon and back hopefully)
GA-Z87N-WIFI
PCI-E FW800/400 add on card (will remove the wifi PCI-E module from Gigabyte)
16GB Kingston Blu-Black (2x 8GB modules)
Samsung EVO Pro 256gb
Samsung EVO pro 128 gb
2x Western Digital 1TB Red
Asus GTX 770 (only if the asus EK waterblock gets back into stock)

for watercooling parts I'm thinking
3/8" ID 1/2" OD tubing
QTY 2 - XSPC EX240 Rad
EK reservoir 140 w/ D5 pump block
D5 PWM pump
QTY4 - Noiseblocker 120mm fans
EK Supremecy CPU block
random whatever fits block for the Z87 southbridge
EK asus GTX770 DCII waterblock

150mm Noctua Fan for intake at back
80mm Noctua Fan for intake on bottom

Should one break up the loop with Rads... such that the rad cool each major component before the water hits the next one?

I've attached a diagram



thoughts?

the build will be for photo editing mostly (lightroom 5 and also adobe photoshop CS6) plus some gaming... and also it will be a hackingtosh running osx 10.9 and also dual boot with Windows 8.1

Cheers! welcome to the Forums.

you loop is ok. nice chassis choice.

I just think that you could simplify it a little better.
Rez - Pump - GPU - NB - CPU - RAD - RAD - Rez.
you really don't have to break up the rads

also, I don't think there is a motherboard block for that mobo.
really unnecessary anyway, as those parts are nowadays pretty cool.

can't wait to see your build log

Your loop looks good. About the southbridge block, i'm not sure you'll find something for it but it's not that big of a deal since the chipset doesn't heat that much.
