Now for the tubing everyone is saying get TYGON, or get this and that, but they have reinforced tubing at HomeDepot it has white nylon threading through the rubber/silicone tubing, i could not get a knick in it with my bare hands, the only thing is getting it on the water blocks... Anyway would this work?

Tygon is reccomended for a reason... That reinforced stuff is very stiff, and unless you position it exactly right, you will put stress on your block mounts and risk tilting a block or cracking the die. The non-reinforced vinyl tube usually found at the hardware store is not as rugged or durable as Tygon and is more likely to kink. You should use Tygon (in the R-3603 formulation) for at least the tubes that connect to any blocks. You can use the reinforced stuff on those connections that don't connect to blocks (i.e. res -> pump, pump -> rad) if you like since they aren't as fussy about side loads.
