Doing a search on Scan.co.uk for the motherboard your buying I found this

Mosfet
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/EK-Mosfet-ASUS-X58-Kit-(Mosfet-set-for-Rampage-II-Extreme-P6T-Deluxe)

NB & SB
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/EK-A...-board-Plexi-Block-(Clear-NB-and-SB-chipsets)

Regarding to buying a kit you might be better off buying the parts sepreatly. I havent heard anything bad about EK waterblocks. I have a slight mixture on my current motherboard. My CPU block is a swiftech and the NB waterblock is a dangerden. Both use copper so try to make sure all your cooling block use the same too.

But for personal preferance Swiftech seems to be the one everyone leans towards.

CPU
http://www.swiftnets.com/products/Apogee-GTZ.asp (there might be a newer model that dosent require a plate to fit the i7's but I'm not sure)

Reservoir
http://www.swiftnets.com/products/MCRES-MICRO.asp

Radiator
http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=557 (Make sure it fits your PC first before buying)

Pump

The next choise is up to you. When selecting the tubing I was reccomended to fit 7/16 to fit over 1/2'ID barbs. This gives it a tighter seal, and use a clamp at each end of the hose fitting for good mesure

Or you can use 1/2'ID tubing to fit on 1/2'ID barbs. But hose clamps are a must! Anti-Kink coils are cheap and a wise investment too. Plus make sure all your barbs are metal instead of the cheap plastic ones.

next you will need some good peforming fans. the faster rpm they have the more cooling output your watercooling will have. I'm not sure of any good models. I'm sure someone can point you towards a good make.
 
funny you should mention the Reservator. I asked about it in my last post here
