Ok guys need some help, I'm new to the WC scene so was wondering if this setup would be able to keep my system running nice and cold.

Corsair 800D Chassis
Swiftech Apogee GTZ i7 CPU Waterblock
EK GeForce 480 GTX VGA Liquid Cooling Block - Nickel+Acetal x 2
Feser Triple Radiator
Hardware Labs Dual Radiator
Swiftech MCP350 Pumps x 2
XSPC Dual 5.25" Bay - DDC Dual Pump / Dual Split Reservoir
Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe Fans x 5

As far as my system goes this is what I plan on running:

Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition 980X OC
ASUS Rampage III Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58
Dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 1.5GB(OC sometime in the future)
6GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Dominator
1000W Corsair HX series
Intel X25-M 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive
1TB Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 7200 RPM 32MB
 
Older CPU block, will work but thetre is better. You OC that 980, you'll want a better block.

Feser triple, sure.
HL Dual what? They make many rads, only some of them are good.

Why 350 pumps and not 355s?

Dunno about the fans.

Otherwise just fine. Err, you overclock you'll want the Feser 120x3 for the CPU. The 120x2 for the GPU really isn't the best choice for the GPU. It will work, you might not be happy with temps on the Vregs, the big issue on those cards especially if you overclock.

You plan to SLI another? Then a 120x3 at a MINIMUM for the GPU loop..
 
What speed/CFM are the Noiseblockers? If that HWL double is a normal, 'thick' rad, it should cool the CPU. The 480s on the triple Feser are pushing the limits. In both cases, if those Noiseblockers aren't some serious air-movers, you're gonna need to go bigger.

So, high speed, you're fine.
Medium or low, no good.
