just want to know if this is a good set up?
is it a waste to just cool the cpu?
Am i missing anything?

CPU block - D-tek Fuzion V2 with D-tek Fuzion V2 Quad Core Insert and D-Tek FuZion Accelerator Nozzle Kit

Pump - Swiftech MCP655 12 VDC Pump

Rad - Swiftech MCR220-QP Res

Coolant - Feser One Non Conductive Cooling Fluid

Looks good, and no, it is not a waste just to cool the CPU.

You may want to get a larger radiator (Swiftech MCR320) though, because:

1. you have room for it.

2. because you are probably gonna watercool more components later

Block: arguably the best
Pump: plenty enough for what you're doing (P.S. I love mine)
Rad: works great for me. Good bang/buck ratio
Coolant: if you're going pre-mix then great while others will probably recommend a home-brew. Ira-K has some great links.

The WC bug spreads like a plague...

Your components look good. The rads aren't the best but they're great for the price and they're optimized for mid- to low-CFM fans (IE quieter).

I'd recommend some using Tygon tubing (probably 1/2" ID 3/4" OD). This is lab-quality tubing that won't react with anything and won't discolor. It's also very supple and is by far the easiest tubing to work with. It's expensive but worth it!

Also, if you want another block to consider, take a look at the Danger Den MC-TDX. It's designed for quads and looks siiiiiick with the acrylic top..

could i just add a second rad if need be later on?
how bout ClearFLEX 60 Tubing 1/2" ID / 3/4" OD its only .99 a foot rather then 2.95

The Fuzion Accelerator Nozzle Kit works with the Fuzion V1 only. The Quad Core insert is for the Fuzion V2 only. And supposedly increases temperatures rather than decreasing them. Though for the cost, I think you should at least experiment with and without the insert.

should i get a 120.3 rad? how does that mount to the back of my case the radbox says its only for 120.1 and 120.2 rads. I probably wont do my nb because with my mobo i would have to do the sb too because the heatsinks are attached

Unless you really can forsee yourself adding more components or taking that 9450 to sick/crazy/insane levels, you will do fine with a double.

yea im oc'd to 3.6 now on air but the temps are hitting 68 when i run prime95, thats a little too close to the max for this chip i think. So i figured if i wc the cpu even if i dont oc any more it should at least run at much better temps right? and maybe i could even try for 3.7 or 3.8

I'd personally just bite the bullet and go for an MCR320. It will allow room for upgrading... and till then you might get a bit better temps cause your coolant will be closer to ambient.

You can mount a triple rad on the back of your case with a radbox.

You would probably be fine with the Clearflex 7/16" tubing. It will be a tighter fit on the barbs, so less likelihood of leaks.

I would also advise buying good quality barbs such as these D-Teks. They have a recessed O-ring which really helps seal the barb to the 1/4" thread on the rad or block. Hand-tightening is all these babies need.
