Swiftech Apex Ultima kit has the same pump and the CPU block as you do. You can use this pdf as a starting point.

You need to have either a reservoir or T line, which should be placed at the top of the loop. I'd suggest a Swiftech Micro Res. Small footprint and effective. Also...leak test for a good couple of hours, outside of your case if possible.
