Default First W/C Setup

Here is what I will use for my W/C setup, I am new to watercooling.

System
Thermaltake Armor
Asus A8N-E
AMD X2 4400 (Not AM2)
nvidia 7800 GT
2x 750GB HD

Watercooling
1/2" Swiftec storm CPU Waterblock
1/2" NV-78 GPU Waterblock
3/8" Silentstar HD-Dual HD Cooler
3/8" Mosfet Cooler
3/8" Maze4 A8N Chipset Cooler
Cape Cora 642 Passive Radiator (3/8")
3/8" Alphacool NexXxoS Micro 80 (with 80mm Fan)
3/8" Alphacool NexXxoS Xtreme I (with 120mm fan)
2x Repack 3.5" slot in resevoir (one 3/8", one 1/2")
1/2" Liang D5 Pump
3/8" Hydor L30 Pump
3/8" Thermaltake water flow meter
3/8" Thermaltake Refill Water Tank
1/2" Thermaltake T-type Water Temperature Indicator
1/2" ID Tubing
3/8" ID Tubing
Thermaltake high performance coolant

I will use 2 loops for my setup. I will have one with only the CPU and GPU cooler, this will use the cape cora radiator. This radiator uses 3/8" connections so I will have to use a adapter for 3/8" (10mm) ID tubing to 1/2" (13mm) ID tubing. The other loop will cool the HDs, and the chipset. Im not looking for overclock potential, although it would be nice to be able to overvlock.

Loop 1 (1/2" ID Tubing)
Repack 3.5" slot in resevoir>Liang D5 Pump>Swiftec storm CPU Waterblock>NV-78GPU Waterblock>3/8" to 1/2" Hose adaptor>Cape cora 642 radiator>3/8" to 1/2" Hose adaptor>Thermaltake T-type Water Temperature Indicator

Loop 2 (3/8" ID Tubing)
Repack 3.5" slot in resevoir>Hydor L30 Pump>Mosfet Cooler>Maze4 A8N Chipset Cooler>Thermaltake water flow meter>Thermaltake Refill Water Tank> Silentstar HD-Dual HD Cooler>Alphacool NexXxoS Micro 80>Alphacool NexXxoS Xtreme I

What do you think of that setup? Should I just have both loops using 3/8" ID connectors and hoses, as all of the parts do come in 3/8" versoins. Thanks for any help.
