I want to make a cpu-block, chipset and gpu block. on the cpu block I dont now what i'll have maybe amd maybe intel.
What program can I use to design waterblocks?
You don't "need" a program to design blocks. A pencil, paper, and ruler will work. A compass is good to for doing round and curved objects.

I use ACAD2000 and SolidWorks 2003. About $4,000 worth of software. If you have access to a CNC mill then you will want some kind of CAD program to creat a .dxf that can be made into G-Code. If you don't then just use paper and pencil. If you have a printer I think Rotor has printable designs. Just attach the paper to the top fo the block, punch the center of each circle and drill them out. you can also try www.webattack.com and try and find a free CAD program. Learnig it will be the biggest challenge. Been using ACAD for years and still hardly know how to use it.
