A res holding more water doesn't really amount to much other than holding more water. I don't know how many bay pump/res combos you are actually going to find...most are at least 2x. 1x doesn't leave you much room to mount the pump and ensure the inlet doesn't suck air.
Just as a heads up, while looking up the MCP35X specs, I saw that they have a white one...

I think you should consider consolidating all your 'is this good' threads...I think you currently have 3. Please re-read as much as possible in the watercooling sticky- several of the concepts you are asking questions about are discussed in the sticky and should provide you with enough info so you don't need to ask 'is this a good.....'. We are here to help, but you have to help us out here...you are the one spending your money and will be doing the install- the more you know the better off you will be.

It is getting confusing having several different threads open asking 'is this a good part'? I understand you are trying to get as much info as you can, but try putting together some components based on what you will need for your loop that fall within your budget- this way we can get an idea of what you are trying to work with. Having a solid idea of your budget, components you want to cool, components you would like to use and loop design will go a long ways.
When it comes to reservoirs - a res is a res...it really just depends what you want and where you want it to go. Hell, you don't even need a res, but it makes it easier to fill and maintain a loop.
When it comes to radiators, you first need to determine how many watts you are going to need to dissipate from your loop. You do this by getting a sum of all components' TDP you wish to watercool. Use this number to determine radiator sizes you'll need. When it comes to radiators, most of the ones out there are good- just avoid any with aluminium. There aren't any good ones that contain aluminum, s you will be fine. FPI just makes fins more dense on a rad to increase surface area, but total improvement over a lower FPI rad is 10-15% max. No real need for them unless you want to buy loud, expensive fans.

ok i reread the sticky and i need to get rid of about 600w of heat using the calculator you had in there. and i was thinking of geting the rasa 750 rx360, two of these:

and this:
http://www.frozencpu.com/products/12103/ex-rad-186/Phob...
now the only question i have is that pump powerful enough?

o, also ill be replacing all the tubing if that is a good pump so aproximately how much will i need? ill be running water from res to 360mm rad on roof of case to the cpu and through both gpu blocks and lastly the 200mm by the front fan and back to res. i was thinking 6 or 7 ft. in case i messed up with a cut but ive never done it before. and at the moment im just looking at frozencpu for items before shopping around and i noticed some tubing is $2.50 and some goes all the way up to $22 for a foot. is the $2.50 crap or will it work good and last?

You never really said what your budget was. The Rasa 750 pump is pretty decent for the price, but if you can afford better I'd get a better pump.
As for tubing, even $2 a foot seems quite expensive, and I've never seen $22 a foot. I use Primochill Pro LRT tubing, and buy it in 10 ft increments from Amazon @ ~$16.

well id like to spend no more than $500 on parts but might go a tad bit over if needed. my goal is to keep everything in the case. so are there any kits out there with better pumps? and do you guys think with those two rads i can get rid of all the heat?

If you're going to spend that kind of money on a pump, I wouldn't get anything less than a MCP35X. It has a much higher pressure head to keep the flow going through your 4 block loop.thanks for your help man. i found a dual bay xspc res that fits the pump. i got those today and when i get paid next im gonna pick up the rx360, the phobia 200mm, and a 140mm res, not sure which one yet though but ill figure it out. that should keep everything extremely cool.
