hi guys jst wondering if all of these part s are compatible together for my next water cooling build

pump: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_296&products_id=23509

res: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_299&products_id=14351

cpu block: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=27717&cPath=879

rad: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23507&cPath=922

tubing: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_160_853&products_id=24144

gpu block: http://www.ekwb.com/shop/blocks/vga-blocks/fc-geforce/geforce-gtx-6x0-series/ek-fc680-gtx-acetal-nickel-csq-1.html

Looks like everything is good except for your res. It's designed for a D5 pump. It didn't look like the pump you had selected was a D5. Personally I wouldn't want a res that's designed specifically for anything, because that ties you down to a particular component. and if you need to switch pump types then you have to change your res too. The D5 itself is a good pump though, I personally went with the DDC with EK acrylic top though since it has the higher head pressure. Flow rate isn't as important to me since when you squeeze your coolant through the tiny waterblocks, the velocity significantly increases. Basically with any pump the flowrate will be fine unless you've got some insane system that needs super high flow rate for some...

Head pressure is most important to ensure you get through all your components and fittings without too much drop.

ANYWAY, the rest of your stuff looks fine =) just not sure about the pump/res compatibility. Oh and with tubing that wide make sure none of your components have fitting ports that are too close together. That can be problematic sometimes.
