Did you fill the system or did it come pre-filled?

"you even have to cut the pipes in the right length..."
how can we help you

You might want to take this to the cases and cooling forum. There are experience WC'ers there.
Just a thought:
You could take the loop out of you case and tilt the block until you get the bubbles to move through the block. Hopefully that gets the liquid flowing they don't collect in the block again. I had to a similar situation w/ a reservoir about 3 months back and that's what I had to do to get a bubble out of the way of one of my ports. No problems since.

Its not a pre-sealed system like the Corsair H50 since you had to cut the tubing to the correct lengths.
Are you talking about a trapped air bubble? Have you bleed the system (presumably not since you got air bubbles)? Have a look in the instruction manual for bleeding.
Oh and it would be useful if you stated which kit it is that you are using.

If you have air caught in the system, you might just have to run it out. Might take an hour or two. Make sure your pump isnt cavatating though.
Sometimes tilting the case back and forth can help.

o wait i get it, water cooling "in" cpu
friends dont let friends use bigwater.
with that said, empty the entire system, fill it with 90% distilled water and 10% of that coolant crap they gave you, unless you have some silver nitrate powder lying around. this should prevent algae from growing in it and distilled water cools just as well as that coolant will. bleed the system before closing it up if you can (preferably through the res since i doubt you have a T line), and the bubbles should be gone.

lol... is a big water one... is a thermaltake, bigwater 760is... and yeah those bubbles are troubling me... so far I manage to get rid of tons of those... a few littles ones are stuck there... playing with the tubing around helps and hitting the tube with a pencil lol...
Is kinda cool watching them move around the pipes... but when one of them get stuck in a really meanny position that i cant move the pipe because is close to the procesor waterblock or the radiator.. i get annoyed...

No, watercooling "stuff" is not bad, just Thermaltake watercooling is junk, pure and simple.
Best advice, you can buy a prebuilt kit, something like this from Petra's:
http://www.petrastechshop.com/pecoba.html
OR.....you can piece together a kit......common recommendations include:
Swiftech radiators....best bang for buck radiators on the market
Pumps....DDC or D5, both produced by Laing, sold by Swiftech (MCP350/355 or MCP 655 series) and Danger Den, among others
CPU block....lot of choices, some more popular ones lately are Swiftech's GTZ, Watercool HK 3.0, Enzotech Sapphire Rev. 2, amongst others
Tubing....current favorite is Primochill LRT, size is up to you
Popular sites for watercooling parts: (First three are excellent choices and all have excellent customer service!)

You really have to use a few more grammar skills, it looks like I'm not the only one who has no idea what you're talking about.
