Boli-

I find a setup similiar to mine is all you need. Having the T connector is key b/c you can add anything to your system without having to rip it apart.

Having a Res sometimes causes more problem than its worth if your putting ALL watercooling parts into computer.

Air bubbles are a concern in res. Also another place for leakage.

Wish you luck on your first setup, its is fun, and it only gets better when you do it a couple of times.

I myself rebuilt my system a second time b/c of Tygon having issues with my UV dye.
But I used the same tubing layout as in my pic.
That layout works well for me.

Also mounting the block is one very important step. Make sure you mount block well.
I like to have the pump outlet go straight to the block for maxium pressure.

Keep us posted and we are here to offer help.
