Newby & New (First) Water Build

[Namron]

Hello Peoples

This is my first post on here & I'm sorry.........But.......It could be lenghty one I'm afraid

First, let me tell you, up until about 5 years ago I'd always built my own PC's but only Air cooled & have only really tinkered with Overclocking. I've often thought about doing a water cooled system but never had the nerve/oportunity to give it a shot.. Anyway to cut along story short......NOW IS THE TIME ........

I have done afair amount of searching online at retailers & forums to pick up a few hints through reading about whats what E.t.c.E.t.c....... Below is the Kit I have Purchased so far .... I just have a few fan/cable extensions E.t.c to get, then its Plumbing Time...

I'll be building a Double Loop system (will more than likely be going with another GPU card (crossfire) in the not too distant future). I was thinking of running the CPU through the "Single Rad" & then the GPU through the "Triple Rad" (remembering that at some point it will be running 2 of these cards)..
Is this cooling set-up "OverKill" or about right ?... I would very much appreciate Any Advice or Critism from those here that know their water works

Well!!!!....There it is..I know it might seem alot to take on for my first water set-up, but as I said in the beginning, I have built several air cooled rigs in the past (just not the last 5yrs or so) so feel I'm not a total novice & thought...Just go for it .... As some will have noticed...This little lot has come to quite a substantial amount of dosh!!!.... With that in mind,was the reason for me comming here for any Advice or Sugestions any of you can put my way before I finnish the build & "Fire" the Beast up .... Thanks in advance for your Time & Ideas....

All the Best
