Just taken a quick look, just a few concerns:

You've got Acrylic tubing fittings, yet you've also got Primochill ART tubing.. you need acrylic tubing for the EK HDC fitting (e.g. this stuff)

You've then specfied 16/11 tubing e.g.

16mm outer diameter
11mm inner diameter

But also listed 12/16mm fittings e.g.

16mm outer diameter
12mm inner diameter

I would feel more comfortable using these instead - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-423-EK (sorry couldn't find the black ones - don't forget you'll need 8 of these - 2 for each component)

Generally if you're using acrylic tubing you need to be concerned with matching up the OD (outside diameter), if you're using flexible tubing you need to be more concerned with matching up the inner diameter (although with compression fittings you ought to make sure both match

To be perfectly honest, I would recommend against doing rigid tubing for a first time build, simply due to the low error tolerance in rigid tubing.
