I'm building my first ever water cooling loop for my i7.

This is what I'm using, and have already purchased the CPU block and Radiator.

CPU Block: Swiftech Apogee XT
Radiator: Swiftech MCR320-QP-K
Pump: Swiftech MCP655-B
Reservoir: Koolance Body with Pump Nozzle & Base for the MCP655
Fittings: Bitspower 1/2 ID to 3/4 OD Compression
Tubing: Feser Red 1/2 ID 3/4 OD
Fans: ????

Right now its going to be Res -> Pump -> Rad -> CPU -> Res

I'm just doing a CPU loop right now, but plan on adding a full chipset block and a block for my 5850, but I'm wondering if the single mcp655 pump and 3x120 Rad will be enough for that full loop when its done.

Thoughts / Suggestions?
 
What CPU and mainboard will you be cooling and in which case?

The compenents you've picked so far are all top-shelf and should do you right.
 
Ok, if you aren't overvolting CPU or GPU and aren't expecting near-ambient temps then you can probably get by with this setup with your mainboard and GPU in the loop as well. If you want better performance you will need more rad.
