I have been searching and I cannot find a guide to show me what to buy and how to put together this setup. I have found videos, but they do not say what to buy and where to get it. Please help. My concern is what exactly to buy. With multiple blocks on the mobo an different heights, i would have to get extenders. In the videos I saw, there were different extenders used to get the height equal. However, do the heights have to be exact?? In the pic below the person is using different 90 degree fittings...Why?
 
Anyway, I am just looking for a how to guide to learn more about this setup.
 
thank you, :)
 
I am trying to figure which way I want to go.
 
Either something like this

 
or....
 
this, which I am pretty confident I can do.

    I would rather have the water flow into the CPU first then the rest.

    I agree. I just found the above pics to show the types of tubing configurations I was interested in.

    Use EK Cooling Configulator to find out what water blocks you need and just browse through FrozenCPU.com and go to water cooling and take a look around and search up things you want to know.

    A guide. Others are on YouTube.

    Did you ever bend acrylic sheets in shop class in highschool to make picture frames and stuff? Same concept. Heat it up and bend it over a form and leave it there until it cools.

    thank you for your response. I see how my OP might have not been as clear as it should have been.
     
    In the first pic. The person is using 90 degree fittings to go from block to block. However, if you look they are different. One of them has a logo on it, the other does not. I don't know why they are different? 
     
    Also, there are different heights associated with each block (RAM blocks vs CPU block vs VRM block). I have looked all over frozencpu.com for extenders to create a straight and level shot from one 90 degree fitting to the next. Unfortunately, I have not found anything. Is it even possible to get a exact level straight shot for each tube. If not, how much "play" does one have between each block?
     
    Using many 90 degree fittings can cost a bit, so before I buy, I want to make sure that I buy the right ones. I just like the look of the 90 fittings on the blocks that are very close together and I think it will be a better overall look.  For the longer runs between rads/pumps/res's I will just use the regular tubes and bend them accordingly.
     
    Thanks for the links/help :)
