1260 is too hot for its power. Get a D4/mcp650, 50z/mcp600, MD-20RZ, 1250, 1048 or DDC/mcp350 instead.

Swiffy 6k series is much better than maze4, and only slightly more expensive i beleive.

With 2 cpu's I strongly urge you to get a larger rad at least a 240x120mm sized, or another BIX.

Run the blocks in series too.

I would go for stainless steel wormdrive clamps myself. Rather than plastic.

Res and fillport together is redunant aswell. They are both essentially the same thing, and unlike rads and pumps, 2 res' will not increase performance (to a measurable degree for our puposes).

Other than that, yay. Make sure to adjust all your tubing aswell. All those pumps above (except the DDC - 3/8") are 1/2" and dont have a 3/4" inlet (except the 1250 - 5/8") like the 1260/1060.

I would go with some newer waterblocks personally.

If you like the DD stuff, get a couple TDX blocks.
