I'm just about to take the plunge and water cool my pc. My budget is around £160 (excluding shipping and fittings etc).

For the cpu block its a toss up between the Swiftech apogee GTZ or DTek Fusion V2 - both around £45.

As for the Reservior i've decided to go for EK multioption Res 400mm rev2 http://www.coolercases.co.uk/acatalog/Res.html and scroll down a bit.

Now i need a little help choosing the Rad. My choies are:

And as for the pump i'm lost. Lookoing at these two:

I'm only gonna cool the cpu for now, maybe Ati new Gen cards when they arrive.
All help and suggestions please.
