Ok I got most of my gear today for my new build:

LG Blueray RW & HD DVD ROM
Some multi card reader floppy drive
Arctic freezer 7 pro
Corsair HX 620W modular psu
2gb corsair ddr3 @1333mhz (will change when prices drop)
X2 500GB WD Sata HDD (Raid 0)
Q6600
Coolermaster Cosmos 1000

I still have to wait on:
ASUS P5E3 Deluxe/WiFi-APn AiLifestyle (not yet delivered - out of stock should be next week)
x2 3870X2 (Not yet released)

I'm ordering the watercooling parts when I order the gpu's

can anyone estimate what sort of clock I should be aiming for at watercool? I wish to cool cpu and gpu's, so I'll need to buy 1 cpu and 2 gpu parts, but what other sections should I look at cooling to get extra performance?

So far Im looking at:

x2 XSPC 3/8" High Flexibility PVC Tubing - 1m £1.99 (£2.34) £3.98 (£4.68)

Alphacool Cape Coolplex Pro 50 Reservoir £26.99 (£31.71)

Laing DDC 1-T Pro 10W 12 VDC Pump £42.99 (£50.51)

Thermochill PA120.2 120mm Double Radiator £46.99 (£55.21)

x2 Feser One UV Reactive Coolant 1 Litre (Black/Blue) £6.99 (£8.21) £13.98 (£16.42)

x2 XSPC Tubing Clip For 3/8" Hose £0.49 (£0.58) £0.98 (£1.16)

x3 EK 3/8" Hose fitting £1.99 (£2.34) £5.97 (£7.02)

Thermochill 3/8"BSP to 3/8" Barb £1.99 (£2.34)

D-Tek Fuzion Universal CPU Block (AMD Socket A/754/939/AM2, Intel 478/LGA775/423/771/603/604) £35.99 (£42.29)

Sub Total : £179.86
Shipping : £8.95
VAT: £33.04
Total : £221.85


Question time :)
am I missing any parts?
do I need 2 loops?
will I get much of a performance increase cooling northbridge + ram?

all advice appreciated

ps - cosmos 1000 is too big for my desk so I gotta get a new one :)

budget is 400 so I should be ok to get better, but I thought those would be fine.

Im putting the rad in the bottom and think I can only fit a double, but will that be enough? if its not I will get a tripple and put it on top
 
it will make the dye look crap then :D

tbh Im not keen on ultraviolet solutions, so I went for the black mix and clear tubing... well actually I didnt get a choice on the tubing :p but would have gone clear anyway, just remembered about the 18w pump but would I need that much for 2 gpu's a processor and the ability to water cool the northbridge and ram in future?
 
yeah 4 gpu's

another set? hmm what about a .3 rad? or just add a .1?

would an 18w pump be enough? Im thinking 2 pumps is gonna make more noise than my current pc and thats on stock :S Im not sure if 1 3870x2 will require 2 blocks or a single block will suffice....
 
ok if Im going to have 1 loop for just the cpu and 1 for the gpu's I may as well add the ram and northbridge to that loop but....

will I get much of an increase on performance???
