Default My First Watercooling Setup

The following is my first watercooling setup. I was wondering if I was missing anything or I have too much of something or something like that. I am only cooling my cpu not my gpu or mobo.

I would also like to know how much of the tubing that I have selected that I will need basicly.

Any suggestions or additions would be greatly appriciated. Thanks to n-sanity for helping me make this list to share and improve on.

Total: About 423 USD

I would say everything is fine, but if you have enough money get a storm block.

Nope, thats what we call false advertisement, they have it labeled as the apogee with a storm G4 picture, id send a complaint to them, this is the apogee block:

Only if you have the money, the apogee or storm will do just fine though, the BIX3 seems to be a bit overkill IMO, unless youre going to cool video cards as well, but if youre only going to cool the CPU get a dual heatercore from dangerden with 2xsunon 90cfm fans.
