Default Callin all tha big dogs!

This water cooling stuff is a lot more complicated than I thought. Then I hear different things from different people. One guy says pump to block (more pressure and turbulance) the other says rad to block (cooler water). Then I hear more water to the pump. Rad on top is bad, I have rad on top it's fine. My head hurts, this damn delta is pissin me off and this shit is like a woman, no, yes, chinese sounds good your halfway there and then you get I really want mexican, well why the hell did'nt you suggest that when I asked you dammit.

I need all of your guys input, please. I need you guys to pick me apart and then recommend exactly what needs to be changed, hell say "that looks like shit" or "it looks fine", just say something. The more questions I ask the more confused I get.

The pic below is my case and the way I want to set things up. The only thing that is not set in stone (actually only the case and components are set in stone) is the hose length and size as well as the barb size. The pump is the best I can do for now ($35.99) as I do not have a $100 for a super pump.

Also, I want to use fittings that have matching ID to the tubes and force the hose onto it (read that restrictions like these limit flow, and I am worried that my pump may be slightly underpower), except for the waterblock which has 1/2" OD fittings (I don't want to f-up the waterblock by trying to change them out). Please notice the tube size changes. Am I way off base, should I do what Blackeagle (btw thanks for your input on my dumbass questions) suggested and just go 1/2" all the way around? Am I making things too complicated? Is there any benifit to what I have proposed? Do I need to modify to acheive a benifit?

Forgot 1 thing hose measurements
lft red is 7"
rt red is 11"
lft blue is 9"
rt blue is 6"
total of 33"
going res>pump>rad>block will take it to 45"
