I am attempting to build a custom liquid cooling loop. I am not sure if the reservoirs with built in pumps are any good or not nor am i sure of much else as this is my first custom build liquid cooler although i currently have a closed loop build. Im mostly just wanting to know if what i have picked out will do well with my AMD FX-8150 CPU i wont be liquid cooling my gpu so the radiator i am using is only going to be cooling this. Also i already read several of the guides that are posted on here but i could not find anything about the parts that have built in parts already in any of the threads. Also if i am missing anything or if i should upgrade anything please tell me thanks. Also the block i have picked out is a AM3 socket not AM3+ but to my knowledge they are the same thing basically, please correct me if i am wrong.

Parts listed below:

Fans: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4814839 (in the pull-push config most likely)

X20 series uses an internal pump. Very different than a res with external pump attached to the back. XSPC has 2 versions of their kits. X20 is a weaker pump than D5 and internal. Goes bad... whole new unit. D5 are external, stronger, and serviceable.
