I7 Gaming computer with watercooling

I'm looking to get some insight on the parts I've chosen and the one's that are up in the air. I'm completly new to watercooling and this is my first actual computer build. I want something I can game with at high fps, for various games. I don't really wanna spend past 3,000 on this computer but since I'm buying most of it over a period of time, I'd be nice to see what other people think and what not. I've been using an old computer for awhile now and I just can't take playing games at like 9-20 fps anymore. I want a plan for a future purchse build of over the fall and into the winter, this'll help me make my mind up and give me a goal, rather than looking at newegg / performance pc every other day.

Reservoirs: Another part I need help on, are these things pretty much standard, or are there certain aspects I should be looking for?

If I've made any obvious mistakes / stupid mistakes, please bare with me. I could really use a few opinions on this.

Fantastic, I was looking for a WC kit but was told that it was better to buy the parts individually, Thanks a ton for all the suggestions as I will be incorporating them into my list

Thanks for the guide and part recommendations Nick M. Makes this a tough decision since I probably won't include the gtx waterblock because of the price, the kit and the individual parts come to about the same, not including the tygon tubing. I'll definatly read through that guide and try to make the best decision based on it. Thanks again.

Kit: 269.95
Parts: 224.95 (roughly)
