So I picked up a Corsair H50 a couple months ago and it's been treating me very well, but it's wet my appetite for a real loop. I'm running a Intel Core i5-750 at 3.8ghz 1.232 volts on the H50 currently. I'm looking to do a good water loop for the cpu along with a video card when I pick up a new one, likely the Radeon 6950.

Here's what I have so far:

Waterblock:
Swiftech Apogee XT Extreme: http://jab-tech.com/Swiftech-Apogee-XT-Extreme-Performance-CPU-waterblock-pr-4568.html

or

EK Supreme LT: http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...cts_id=25894:961b55e3213bcf55c516f0bdd38d5e5e

Radiator:
Black Ice GT Stealth 240:http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...ucts_id=4537:8ab65fb0a1f792003c3e6d2581afb800

Pump: Danger Den DD-CPX-Pro: http://www.performance-pcs.com/cata...cts_id=24272:3679532b54da8481eebea195ea407c3c

Reservoir: No idea, need some input on this.

Tubing: Either Tygon black tubing or Primochill Pro White, mainly going to decide based upon what color scheme I go with unless one is vastly better than the other.

Fans: 2x Gentle Typhoon, haven't decided on speed yet.

I also plan on getting 3/8 fittings unless the group here makes me decide otherwise. I'll pick up some clamps as well.

I would like some input on what the community here thinks of this setup. Budget is flexible, if it's worth it, I'll do it.

Looking forward to your input!
 
Reservoir on a budget, I would recommend the Swiftech Micro-res V2. Very versatile, the two bottom ports makes for draining the system very simple.

What case are you using? It would help if we knew.
