I have this build prepared.

If you noticed at the very bottom of that link ^ I have a watercooling kit that I chose. Is that a good choice and does it have everything I need?

I need help figuring out everything I will need to water cool this thing.

I plan to cool my CPU, GPU, Motherboard.
What all do I need?

I know I can't be the only one in this situation. On my first build I took the easy way out and got a Corsair H100i to cool my CPU and just left my GPU with its default fan.

Yes, that XSPC kit is very good. But if you plan on water cooling the GPU, you really should add another radiator, and you'll obviously need the GPU water block. The D5 is a very solid pump, and the AX series radiators perform very well in comparison to other slim line rads. Also, unless you plan on some really serious overclocking, I wouldn't bother cooling the motherboard, unless you're doing it just for show. It's really not necessary. Plan your loop right, and that kit should get you going very well.

That will cool your cpu, but you will need an extra radiator (maybe only 120mm), for your gpu, also a gpu block to fit on your card, and finally some extra fittings for the new parts. Watercooling a motherboard is a waste of time and money, but all you will need is some extra compression fittings.
