I am building a computer at the moment (really just getting all the parts together) and I am not quite sure what fans and radiators to use.
I am looking for three 560mm radiators and a 420mm radiator, and fans that would go with them.
Now, i've been browsing Frozen CPU (as they seem to have the widest variety) and i can up with the following:
For fans, I found these, but I am not sure which is the best one to use. I prefer black (as I am going for a black and red colour scheme).

Which of these would be the most suitable for a water cooled system? Are there any other fans on other sites I have missed? Are there any better ones? And more suitable?

As for radiators, I found the following for 420mm rads:

I prefer medium or low profile radiators (high profile rads take up too much space, even in the beast of a case i am using (Caselabs STH10 Magnum)).
Which of these would be the most suitable?
They all look pretty similar in terms of features and construction style. Does it really matter which one I choose? Would they all perform similarly? I've tried searching for professional comparisons which include these rads but i couldn't find any.
Which fans would work best in a push water cooled set up (I am not going for push-pull, too many fans and too much noise, and push on its own is better than pull on its own, i've been told).

I also found these for the 560mm rads:
1)

2)

4)

Again, they all look very similar in terms of features, so I am having a hard time deciding between them. Again, i have to ask, does it matter which one I choose? Would they all perform similarly?
I really have tried looking for comparisons between them and their competitors, but with no luck on my part for finding any reviews or comparison tests.
And, finally, which fans would work best with them?
I know that the thinner the radiator, the more power/static pressure needed from the fans, which means higher RPM.
Would I be best sticking with a medium profile rad, with mid range RPM fans on?
I will be using a mechanical fan controller (I could not find any digital/computerised fan controller i like the look of....) if that makes any difference.
Could I possibly go for a push-pull set up if i used low RPM/low noise fans in a push and higher RPM fans in a pull?
As always, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: I suppose i should say that budget is not a problem.
