Well I'm looking to build my first water cooling system for myself and was wondering which rad would be better for a quiet water cooling somewhat on the cheap.

Would the 2-302 noticeably impact my flow rate vs a 2-342 and would the larger surface area make up for it?

My planned system:
MCW-6002-64 (my board has 4 holes would the p4 version work and give me a better holding system?)
Zalman GWB1 (e-mail sent to zalman concerning possible compatability issues)
10' of 7/16" ID tubing.
Maxi-jet 900
2-302 or 2-342 heatercore
2 120mm coolermaster real silent fans (Got these from a friend. Might undervolt them if I can, but not neccessary.)
Shroud made out of cardboard or whatever i can find.

Silence is the primary goal of this system but performance is a very close second.
