Im debating between 2 waterblocks, the storm and the apogee. The rest of my setup looks like this: swiftech mcp-655 pump, black ice gt stealth 360 radiator, typhoon dual 5 1/4" bay resevoir, 2 swiftech mcw-60 vga blocks. I want to go with the storm block but my only concern is that it will constrict the flow of my setup too much, the apogee wont but i dont know how well it will perform compared to the storm.

storm outperforms the apogee with a wide margin, apogee is basically a respin of the mcw5000 which is ancient. swiftech designed this block so that they can sell a whole bunch of decent blocks for really cheap. plus it looks like the storm, which is also a seller. but if you want true performance, go with a storm.

seeming the apoge requires less pressure/ flow rate... would this water block be better if i had an apogie and a GPU water block at the same time?
