After A lot of searchin the system i chosed is.
Asetec Antarctica Waterblock
Radiator Black Ice Pro 240 Dual Fan
Pump Hydro L30 Or Eheim 1250?
Well by byin the1st one i need also a reservoir and by 2nd its a close circle without reservoir .Is the 2nd better?
Will this set up catch good temps?
Also the Hose connection (suction side)of Eheim is 3/8 but all the other parts i reffered above are 1/2".Check it http://www.eheim.com/technik_pumpen.htm
What should i do in case i buy Eheim
 
No offense, but your grammar and spelling is horrible. I'm not trying to be an ass, but I suggest you edit your post so people take you more seriously.

But anyway, that system doesn't look too bad, although I would not opt to use those parts myself. I would suggest buying a either a swiftech torm, the new d-tek block, or a TDX.

If you go that route, the eheim 1250 will work, but I'd suggest a more powerful pump, such as the AquaXtreme 50z. The D5 is more powerful, but the AquaXtreme puts less heat into the water, so for small systems without huge radiators, the AquaXtreme would probably be a better choice. It is also very quiet.

The reservoir is a choice. If you have room, go ahead and purchase one, as get rid of air bubbles more quickly than just a t-line. There is nothing wrong with the latter, though.

I highly suggest 7/16 ID (5/8 OD) tubing. It can be purchased here http://www.mcmaster.com, and is called "masterkleer" or something like that. It performs just as well as 1/2'' ID tubing in most small loop (less than 10-15') cases. It is also much more flexible.

As for your radiator, I've always opted for the heater core route. A dual 120 will be more than sufficient in most cases. I would go with a singly 120 only if you cannot use a dual 120 in any way, as if you use multiple blocks, the single 120 will not be able to dissipate enough heat to keep your temperatures low (from my experiences, anyway).

If you go with a heater core, just make sure to get some fans with a high pressure gradient, such as panaflo. Otherwise, your performance will suffer.

Good luck.
