Water Cooling advice

Hi guys, I'm trying to do my research and plan ahead, for a new system I want to build this Christmas. I'm more then likely going to be building an AMD64 FX setup on a SLi board, w/ 2 GT or Ultra 6800 Cards (probably only 1 to begin with)

I've never used or setup a water cooling setup before but I've been trying to learn about it.
I'd like to hand pick everything and do it myself (without hard molding) so I can learn more, but as far as prebuilt kits go I'm looking at the swiftech kit.

I want to cool at least 1 GPU, the CPU, and Northbridge. I'm not into extreme OCing, I'm mostly into Silent operation. So far this is what I've got.

I'll be using a Lian Li V1100 case (w/ sound insulation =)
I was thinking either the swiftech H20 120 kit or....

DD TDX A64 1/2" CPU waterblock
DD 6800 1/2" GPU waterblock
Maze 4 1/2" Chipset waterblock
BlackIce Extreme 120mm (Main question about this, at bottom)
DangerDen D4 12v (question about this as well at bottom)
DD Dual 5.1/4" Bay reservoir

Main Question is, will the BlackIce extreme 120mm be efficient in cooling what I want to cool? Again, I'm not wanting to OC (yet, anyway) I don't want to mod the sound insulation in the case or anything of that nature unless I have too.

Also, well that pump be sufficient?
Thanks a lot, for reading and any advice/ suggestions =)
 
i have almost the same setup as your going 2 have,

i put 2x blackice extreme radiators tho....

mine goes.....pump>cpu>1st radiator>gpu>chipset>2nd radiator>reservoir

im gunna change it so it goes...pump>1st radiator>cpu>2nd radiator>gpu>chipset>reservoir
because the pump give off a little to much heat for my liking 🙂

but if ur not looking 2 oc, 1 radiator is fine
