Here is what i need to have cooled:

AMD FX60
Dual Geforce 7950GT's

Here is what i have planned so far:

Swiftech MCR320
Swiftech MCP655
Swiftech MCW60 x2
Danger Den TDX
Yate Loon fans

Now all i need i think is a reccomendation on tubing what is the best type and i'd like to purchase all of this from performance pc's i think the best tubing they sell is primoflex so i wanted to know if that was good.

Also do you think i should get some chipset cooling? And do i need anything else for the GPU Blocks if i am running the dual cards or will the 2 blocks i have fit accordingly?

Please let me know if i am missing anything from my above list to have a fully functional water cooling system.

Thanks
 
Your setup looks fine for what you need to do with it. You're going to get a hundred suggestions to use MasterKleer tubing as that's the hot thing right now, but Primoflex is a good choice as well. I've been using it for years and I have no plans to change.

As far as cooling your GTs, the 60s will work great but you might also want to get a set of air cooled ramsinks like these for each card to help the memory stay cooler (unless you have the dough to spring for a pair of MCW-Ramcools)

Doubtful you'll need chipset cooling unless you're gonna monster OC, but you can always monitor your temps and add it in later if needed.
 
Thanks for the advice... i already have the ramsinks on the cards.

Well i guess i'll order what i have hear i just wish there was a place local i can buy these parts. I hate having to wait for it to get shipped out.
 
Also one more question...

What type of reservoir would you suggest? And how do the Primoflex Liquid Coolants handle is it worth purchasing them?

This might seem as a simple question as well but i've never done a water cooled system before so let me just ask..

The basic flow is as follows: Reservoir to Pump, then pump to Radiator, then to the CPU and GPU's. The coolant then cycles back from the CPU and GPU to the the reservoir? And if this is the correct flow won't i need some splitters or something to go off the pump to the 3 componets i am cooling?
 
I would seriously suggest a different block as you can do much better than a TDX. At least get a Apogee GTX or Dtek Fuzion.

Sheesh, I always look over the simple things. For the money, I agree.

The Swiftech MicroRes is low restriction and will do the trick for you. Regarding the order of your loop, it's generally smart to have the pump draw from the res. Other than that, the rest isn't crucially important. You don't need splitters, just connect everything in series. Example, my setup goes pump-cpu-gpu-nb-sb-rad-res-pump, and with my fans set most of the time at about 30-40% I still have very good temps.


**Footnote - I don't really need chipset coolers anymore as I haven't used AGP in quite some time and my overclock is ~8%, but I just don't feel like taking them out of the loop.
