You may need another l of fluid (unlikely, but it doesn't hurt)

And you need a top for that pump

What top do you suggest?

What's a EK-DDC X-RES 100 when it's at home?

The pump you have selected is a D5, and the EK-DDC X-RES sounds like a reservoir that mounts onto a DDC pump.

D5 pump....
no top...

Why don't you cool the card if it's silence you are after?

Will 1 radiator be fine for a 3570k(4.5ghz) and 670(stock)? and do I need any additional fans in the case or can I get away with what I said above? My goal is silence
