I am wanting to WC both my CPU and GPU. I have already purchased the C-systems 750 pump and a Blackice Black 80mm rad. Now I'm trying to figure out which waterblocks to buy and specialized tubing if necessary. I'm aiming for a system that I can OC pretty well and run pretty silently if necessary.
Any suggestions?

If I had a Shuttle AMD64 (lucky bastard!
) I would be motivated to get low-profile blocks from a height point of view. There is not much space around the vid card slot, and with the C-Systems pump, if you had a low profile block you could figure a way to mount the pump directly over the CPU block, with hardly any hose connecting the pump and the block.
Candidates for such a setup on the CPU side that come to my mind are the NexXxos HP which is very low profile, or a old Swifty MCW-5002 block. The 5002 isn't necessarily "low profile" but it has quick-connect fittings integrated with the block, hose ready, and at conveniently inclined angles. This eliminates the need for the normal barbs, which are quite high usually. The Asetek Antarctica also has flush quick connects, but it is a three-hole system that needs a y-adapter, and the inlet/outlets aim straight up. I think the MCW-5002 would be the best in your situation, assuming AMD64 sockets are supported by them.
