Hello to all that are reading this.
I am very new (literally just signed up, I'm normally on other forums but I really want to get a good opinion on my next setup)
I am now in the process of building myself a new Rig, the specs of which are below:
Corsair Obsidian 800D
Asus Maximus V Formula
Intel Core i7-3770K
Corsair Dominator Platinum (4x4GB)
Asus Xonar Essence STX
MSI GeForce N680GTX Lightning
Corsair Professional Series Gold AX 750W Modular
OCZ Technology 256GB Vector
1TB Western Digital VelociRaptor
Western Digital 2TB Caviar Black
Now I have never dabbled with water cooling before (except for the corsair H60 but that's not real water cooling) but with a rig like this I really want to get into a proper water cooling system build.
Everything is at planning stage but I wanted to have 2 loops, one that goes through the CPU and Chipset (motherboard has water cooling block already) and another for the graphics card.
The Reservoir I chose because the reviews say it is very good, quiet and overall very good:
Koolance RP-452x2 Duel 5.25in Reservoir which can hold 2 pumps Link Below:

I also went for Koolance Pumps as well to keep everything compatible, PMP-450:

My question is, can anyone here give me a simple list of items that I would need? I can follow guides all over the net to setup everything but I'm not so confident on what else I would need other than a ton of hosing?
Which connectors should I choose? compression? What piping thickness should I go for?
What are the best CPU blocks and GTX 680 blocks?
I've also got a few questions of my own, what would be the best radiator setup in that case?
I am also going for a red and black theme and getting hold of red LED's and coolant is fine but I was wondering if they make Black coolant?
Any help or pointers would be deeply appreciated
