For something that would be much easier to install and perform the same or better, try the Swiftech 6002 or the DD TDX block instead. The Eheim is a good pump if you're looking for lower noise, but the Aquaxtreme (cooltechnica.com) and the Laing D4 (DD and Swiftech sell them) are good for 12V pumps and you don't have to mess with relays either, but they are a little louder (the aquaxtreme is pretty quiet inside the case). The GPU block is all aluminum and even if it is anodized many people won't reccomend it. Other blocks to look into would be DD's Maze4 and the Silverprop block. If you have the room a heater core would give better performance than the Thermochill, but if you're space strapped then it isn't a bad way to go.
 
you shouldnt mix different blocks like that. the TDX is meant for a 3/8"-1/2" tubing system, while your GPU and Res are meant for 1/8" tubing systems. Either go 1/2" or 1/8", dont mix them, youll be using alot of adapters which will be restricting and ackward.

If you go 1/2", i would get a TDX, MAZE4 GPU, DD 12v Pump, Thermochill 120.3 (120.2), T-line.

I dont have any experiance with 1/8", so cant give you any advice.

Since your going to be using a CPU and GPU block, get a good sized radiator (at least dual 120mm). theres no need for a resevoir. a T-line will do the job and provide better flow.
