Pump: Hydor Seltz L20 Pump

First off:
1/2" = 12.5mm
3/8" = 9.5mm
8mm = weak.

I'd either go for a different res, or be prepared to mod the res with 1/2" fittings.
Rest seems reasonable. What sort of fan were you planning to use on the rad?

I dunno, depends what you have space/money for. Custom building a res is quite common.

Make sure you use a decent fan - air flow through your rad is a key part of a cooling system.

i was thining about mounting a res on the top of my case with green water init and somehow getting the water to iluminate.
