Guidance on building a watercooling loop

[Horiscopes]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on upgrading my PC to a 5600x and a 3070, and I was wondering if anyone has any good pointers as for where to look for guidance on building a loop and buying quality parts? I'd like to do soft tubing and water cool both my 3070 and 5600x for looks and functionality.

There are about 1,000 guides on YouTube and I don't really know who to rely on. Thanks!

However you decide to build the loop, ensure you have a way to drain the system too. I just built my first loop and didn't take that into account, lol

Also depends on which 3070 you have as to which brand block you'll have to go with.

Please don't try to be trendy and cram it all into the smallest case possible because you measured it and thought "oh man, I even have a half inch to spare!"
