Only thing that really concerns me is the Zalman GPU block since it's made of aluminum, resulting in corrosion in your loop. For full-cover GPU blocks I'd recommend either DangerDen or EK-waterblocks.

So would the EK 8800 GTX GPU Water Block be more suitable

The EK block is awesome - I really like mine - but it won't work on other cards. So, if you are looking for a block that you can put on a new card in the future, then I would get a Swiftech MCW60-R with ram sinks. This will also give you slightly better performance than a full-cover because it doesn't dump the ram heat into the loop.
