So I plan to copy this man's watercooling system because my system closely resembles his.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AWHwH2VScY
Haf X, i5-2500k, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Sapphire 7950.
His watercooling parts are as listed.

XSPC Rasa 750 rs 360
PrimoChill PrimoFlex PRO LRT Tubing 3/8"ID 1/2" OD with 1/16" Wall - Clear
6x Koolance 3/8" x 1/2" (10mm x 13mm) G 1/4 Threaded Compression Nozzle - Black
2x Koolance 3/8" (10mm) ID / 1/2" (13mm) OD G1/4 Threaded Angled Nozzle - Single - Black
Bitspower G1/4" Matte Black Dual Rotary 90° Adapter
Bitspower Matte Black Diamond G1/4" Stop Plug w/ O-Ring
EK Radeon HD 7970 VGA Liquid Cooling Block - Electroless Nickel Plated
EK Radeon HD 7970 Backplate
EK EKoolant Premium Liquid Cooling Premix Coolant - 1L - UV Lime Green

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I'm missing something. I'm new to watercooling so this will be my first rig. I've read up on a couple of guides from the watercooling sticky thread.
Are there ways I can improve this cooling system?

Sounds good, maybe some quick disconnects or a drain valve to easily drain your loop and some good fans thumb.gif

What kind of fans do you recommend?
Also, bubbles. If I have small bubbles, what's the worst that can happen? Is it a necessity to get rid of these bubbles? Do they just decrease performance or do they have the chance of having the CPU completely overheated.
Also, draining. How would I do that exactly? I can't seem to see a guide on drainage anywhere here. Guess I could look it up though lol.

Don't worry about overheating your proc... this isn't the 90s (or whenever that was a problem). My h100s pump disconnects from the psu every now and then... it'll throttle and your comp will be slow or turn off. As for an allowable amount of bubbles idk.

Thanks for the info guys.
Another question, I have an Antec EA-750W. I have a 7950 and an i5-2500k OCed. When I watercool them, I plan to try to OC them even higher, but I also plan to get a 2nd 7950.
Would my power supply support all of this? 2 7950s OCed, i5 OCed, and the water cooling setup?
Also, would the XSPC Rasa 750 rs 360 be able to sufficiently cool down 2 7950s and an i5? Assuming I also get the corsair sp120s.

EDIT:
Alright, what if I also get the Scythe Q12 fan controller and a few DELTAs

I'll give it my best shot, i have 2 fans similar 2 the delta's and i would not recommend them as i dont see much of a temp drop when i have them on full ( very loud )

As for the power supply, i have 2 x 7950's OC'd with an i7 3770k OC'd to 4.5GHz plus all my watercooling and im only using an 800watt PSU, im not 100% sure though.

Finally the Rasa kit(which i also have), i was getting sufficient flow watercooling my 2 cards with a 240 and a 360mm rad plus the cpu block, so i would say it would do the job, although i did upgrade and get a D5 vario pump to replace the 750 LPH pump in the Rasa kit, but it will do the job if you dont want to upgrade the pump+res thumb.gif Hope this helped blushsmiley.gif

Well, I mean I heard they blow everything else outta the water, practically literally.
What if I got, say, 6 of them? All cooling the radiator. Of course I would put them in my preference speed on the fan controller. How well do you think my units would be cooled? Think I could do some serious overclocking?
