First watercooled custom system

[123456789]

is this ok for a first custom water cooled system

the components i have are
Asus A8N Sli deluxe
AMD x2 4400
Nvidia 7800gtx OC
i want to have 2 loops one for my cpu and one for my graphics and mobo (chipsets etc)

cpu loop

pump - AlphaCool Laing D5 Basic Pump 1/2 Inch Tube Fitting
Radiator - AlphaCool NexXxoS Xtreme II Radiator
waterblock cpu - Thermaltake CL-W0010 CPU Water Block
Reseviour - AlphaCool Cape Coolplex 25 external

Graphics and mobo Loop

Pump - AlphaCool Laing D5 Basic Pump 1/2 Inch Tube Fitting
Radiator - AlphaCool NexXxoS Xtreme II Radiator
waterblock chipset - AlphaCool Motherboard Heattrap and AlphaCool NexXxoS NB-SLI Motherboard Chipset
graphics - NexXxoS VGA Water Block -NVXP-3 6800/7800 and AlphaCool NexXxoS Mosfet Cooler Block
Reservoir - AlphaCool Cape Coolplex 25 external

all connections are 1/4" apart from the pump which is 1/2"

Any reason why you want 1/4"? You are sacrifising cooling potential.

there is no reason but 1/4" is the only connection type i could find. couldnt i have 1/2" hoses connecting to the waterblocks. would this increase cooling or not?

is ths better for my cpu loop then

pump - AlphaCool Laing D5 Basic Pump 1/2 Inch Tube Fitting
Radiator - DD XSPC R120-D X-Flow
waterblock cpu - DD TDX AM2
Reseviour - AlphaCool Cape Coolplex 25 external

all connections are now 1/2" apart from the Reseviour which is 1/4" soon to change (im still looking for a 1/2" Reseviour) do they do one? can some one give me a make or some idea of where to look

when you say 1/4" ... do you mean thread size ? or barb size ?

barb size

thats what i was thinking of and after reading what u have to say is this a better system

Cpu loop
pump - Laing Vario D5 Pump
Radiator - XSPC R120-D X-Flow
waterblock cpu - Maze4 A64 AMD
Reseviour - AlphaCool Cape Coolplex 25 external

Graphics and mobo
pump - Laing Vario D5 Pump
Radiator - XSPC R120-D X-Flow
waterblock chipset - NexXxos NB_SLI 1
Graphics - NVXP-3 6800/7800
Reservoir - AlphaCool Cape Coolplex 25 external

all connections are now 1/2" aprt from reservior which i will get a 1/2" barb that was suggested by w3bbo.

Also should I have two loops or just the one with the things I have. Will the one pump be up to it.
