I'd go with the TDX/RBX or WhiteWater over the MCX6002. And as for the rad, it's nice...but expensive and it won't cool as well as a 2x120mm heatercore...and those are much cheaper and smaller.

The pump and everything else the is great, I just ordered that Silverprop myself...I've heard excellent things about it .

Why? The TDX can match it only with a restrictive jet and the RBX dosn't even cover the freaking heat spreader. Also your rad input is not correct either. :shrug:

Looks ok to me. The BI3's are good rads designed for computers and the MCW60002A is a good block.

Is the silverprop worth getting compared to a maze 4?

I don't know. I havn't seen any conclusive testing on them. I like the Silverprop for being all metal though.

Well, i would have to order the silverprop from aus, and then shipping too..

Might as well get a maze 4?

Is 1/2 id clearflex with 1/8 wall ok?

Also, Since im a first timer, should i play it safe and get fluid xp?

Yeah, Maze4 GPU should be fine. Sounds fine on the clearflex, just make sure the fitting you get with your blocks match up. Only thing I got against FLuidXP is the price. Distilled water with 20% antifreeze will do you fine but go ahead and get the Fluid XP if your worried about it. Cleaner/safer than anti freeze to.

Only concern for the MCW50 is the anodized aluminum top. But if you are using FluidXP or distilled water with anti corrosion inhibitor it probably will never matter.
