Welcome to SPCR, Ultimo!

a few things to point out.

adding an nb block into your system like that is what is called "in parallel". this poses a number of complications (not necessarily problems, but complications nonetheless) with respect to flow rate and pressure drop and performance etc. it is advised to run things in series to avoid any nasty problems.

also, i think you'll find that the water going into your cpu waterblock will be pretty much at the same temperature as the water coming out of it. the flow rates of modern systems (probably also your ttaq2) are high enough that the temperature difference between the coldest and hottest parts of the loop is next to 0. so don't worry about the order or what is getting fresh coolant and what isn't.

as for what WB, i think the asetek nb block would suit you well as it uses the same (i think) tubing size as your ttaq2 system. also it's relatively cheap and it does the job well.

Ok,tnx for advisinig.I`ll now put them into serilal order but am I going to put NB first because it is coolder than the CPU.But is it going to be enough my pump or i must put stronger?
And can i later put in my ttaq2 GPU block?

don't pump water to the nb first just because you think the water is going to be colder. it's not. the only thing you need to be concerned with is how elegant the tubing is. if going to the cpu first results in shorter, less-sharp tubing then you should go with that.

you can add a gpu block later, yes, although at that point you might want to consider upgrading your pump as the one you have isn't terribly fantastic iirc.

to be honest, i would simply get a whole new system. i know this sounds a bit rude, but there are so many restrictions in the aq2 (and aq3, which is simply a repackaged aq2) that mean you have to upgrade pretty much everything.

the radiator for one is too small, and the pump is extremely weak at 1.5LPM (litres per minute) so even if you did get a bigger radiator, your pump would have trouble pumping water through it fast enough.

well in case you haven't read it yet, have a look through this guide to watercooling to see if it can answer any of your questions.

if you have just bought your ttaq2 system i suggest you try to get used to it for a while before splashing out an an all-new system. watercooling will sap money from your wallet quicker than you think, you don't want to end up in a spending spiral. believe me, i've been there.

Use the WB that came with the aquarius for the nb and buy a better one for the cpu...
