Default Critique my new water cooled setup

This will be my first water cooled setup and I'm looking for feedback. Good? bad? did i forget anything?

I've got an Intel Q6600 to be cooled as well as an Nvidia 8800GTS.

Here's the setup:
-Swiftech APOGEE GTZ LGA775 CPU Water Block G1/4 Chrome HI-FLOW 1/2IN Barb Fittings
- Swiftech MCP655 12V Industrial Water Cooling Pump 1/2IN Barbs
- Swiftech MCR320 Quiet Power Triple 120MM Water Cooling Radiator Black G1/4 Threaded
- Swiftech MCRES-MICRO REV2 Clear HI-FLOW Water Cooling Reservoir 3/8IN & 1/2IN Barb Fittings
- Tygon R-3603 1/2IN ID 3/4IN OD Tubing 5 Feet
- D-TEK Customs Fuzion GFX V2 GPU Water Block for Most NVIDIA & ATI Video Cards 1/2" Barb Fittings
- Primochill PC Ice NON-CONDUCTIVE Water Replacement 32OZ - Clear
- (3) Scythe S-FLEX SFF21G 120MM Cooling Fan 1900RPM 35.0DBA 75CFM FDB 3/4PIN
- Danger Den G1/4 to 1/2IN High Flow Barb Chrome Fittings (2 Pack)

How much tubing will I need to make this work? More than 5 feet? Any insight is much appreciated

You would need about 10 ft of tubing.

I wouldn't suggest using the Primochill premixed fluid. Get some Pentosin G11, mix it 1:10 with distilled water, a couple drops of PT nuke and a drop of Dawn dish soap.

Don't forget to get RAM sinks for your video card since the Dtek isn't a full coverage block.

If you're buying Primochill, might as well just throw everything in the trash.

Petrastech FTW!

Dawn is just a brand name...however Dawn is one of the only dish soaps that if you pour it down a bee hive all the bees will die. (Not sure if this is fact of myth). I believe any old dish soap is fine...all you use it for is to loosen up the water and lube your parts.
