Will these parts work together?

I am planning on watercooling my Q6600 when it gets here, and I want to know if these parts will be sufficient. Sorry for another "will these work" thread but I am on a budget and want to make damn sure I don't buy the wrong parts.

D-tek Fuzion
Swiftech MCR320 (2x)
Swiftech MCRES-Micro
dB-1 Compact 12v Pump

My biggest concern is the pump.. Will it push enough water to overcome the resistance of 2 320's and the D-tek? If I put on a GPU block for the next Nvidia series full cover blocks that will inevitably be released will it still have enough power? I am adapting another cheapo ATX case and attaching it to the underside of my current case and routing the tubing through the two to achieve a 100% contained loop. Will a few feet of tubing also cause problems?

Also, I plan on ordering these before I go on vacation for a week. Does anyone have any experience with petra's or Jabtech and how long it takes to ship out their parts?

I have the pump. I wouldn't use it for anything more than a 1 block loop.

Petra's is excellent and ships same day or next day. Jab-tech usually ships out next day.
 
New Egg has good prices and usually has everything in stock regarding Swiftech.
 
Hmmm... So you guys think the setup would work then? If needed I could always put another of those pumps in the loop for another block right? That pump wouldn't be the part that lowers the efficiency of the setup would it? I am just really worried about this pump cutting it.

I'd try newegg but their prices are no better than anywhere else on this stuff and I'd like to keep it to a 2-store minimum.
 
Avoid newegg simply because their policy refuses to allow returns for used watercooling components. Petra's is the best when it comes to service and RMA's. Jab-tech is also relatively lenient when it comes towards RMA's.
 
Thanks for the heads up! Anyone else with comment on this pump, 2 radiators, and the Fuzion?
 
Fuzion is the best all around performing CPU block on the market right now. Only the GTX comes comparatively close.

The rads are excellent choices as well due to Swiftech's MCR series being the best in the price/performance class.

However, like my initial post stated, the pump is a bit weak. For a single block loop, you should be fine. However if you decided to add an additional GPU block in the future, I'd suggest doubling up the pumps in series.
