Recently I have been considering watercooling my system since I have gotten a little money saved up to spend on my pc. Currently my system consists of:

CPU: i5 4670k
GPU: Evga Gtx 780 ftw

Those would be the components I want to cool. My case will be the Nzxt h440 white version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146148

Later on I plan to SLI so I wanted a case with enough space to cool that as well when I wanted to get it. That being said I planned on putting 2x 360mm rads in the system (top and front). If possible I was going to put them both in push pull config to maximize the cooling. My main question I had was about parts. I'm not one who knows much about watercooling products, I know the basics from what I have read on stickies and such but still no expert on these parts (I know normal pc hardware and such).

What I want to know is what are some products you would recommend me to purchase that are good products (Don't like to something in that has bad rep especially when dealing with liquid). I would every part for this all the way down to fluids and tubing with rads, gpu/cpu block etc. I looked on ebay for a couple of things and I came across this kit and it was a reasonable price but that also makes me want to believe it is not a great product and could lead to problems.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Water-Cooling-Kit-360-Radiator-CPU-NB-GPU-Blocks-18W-Pump-220MM-Reservoir-Tubing-/380803702405?pt=US_Water_Cooling&hash=item58a9ab5e85

If possible I would like to see a white version rad if the brand has one but i don't mind black. Also would only need medium thickness (40mm?) since there would be 2 360's. Thanks for any help

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would like to be able to overclock the cpu and gpu (or 2) as well.

If you do decide to make your own custom, these are the part manufacturers I would suggest::
Waterblocks: EK, XSPC or Alphacool.
Radiators: Alphacool or Black Ice.
Pumps: Swifteck, EK and XSPC also do pumps I believe.
Resevoirs: There are many companys that do these; EK, Alphacool and XSPC do good ones.
You can also get all in one Res and Pump combos. Again, EK and XSPC do great performing products.
Other things (Fittings, Coolant and Tubing): Bitspower do amazing looking fittings, Mayhems coolant is amazing and looks great. For tubing there is 2 types; Soft and Hard. Soft is not very long lasting and needs a lot of maintenance, meanwhile Hard is longer lasting, needs less work but is more expensive.

Few tips:
You will need 2 fittings per compent.
SInce this is your first build, i would recommend building the Loop, and then buying the fittings.
There are plenty of tutorials on Youtube.
EK have a website that lets you see if Waterblocks are avaliable for your Components (CPU, GPU, Motherboard and so on!)
