Planning to build Water Cooling System

Plan to go water for both the cooling benefits and the quiteness of it.
I already have a good idea of what I'm going to get, I'm pretty good with computers, just never ventured out into the WC relm (and hoping it's not hard).

List of sh!t I think I'll get:
Swiftech Storm CPU Block
Cyclone Fusion GPU Waterblock <-Two of them for my dual GT's
BIX2 Rad
Swiftech Pump
Tubing
Reservoir <-or a T thing

Thats pretty much everything except for AS5 (which I have), Distilled Water, something else that I can't remeber (but leaving it out for someone to fill in :p), and FANS for the RAD.

WHICH FANS should I GET for the BIX2 RAD. Looking for Quiteness+good performance. I've heard you don't need a lot of cfm like for air cooling, but I really don't know that much about it.

So basically everything I know is what I'm getting, and not what I'm doing with it. But thats what google is for :D. (but seriously, help me get some fans, and whatnot).

WC FTW!!!!11!

First off, just relized I didn't post this in Cases and Cooling were I wanted to :(

Second, I've planned on building my own, and still plan too. I don't think any WC kit can even come close to what I build and certainly no air cooling system. My WC loop will generate a fair amount of heat which is why I'm building my own. Dual GT's generate a lot of heat and so does an Opty (sort of) with 1.5 volts running through it.
