Ok i have no idea why you want all those radiators, but i can tell you right now it won't make a difference if you have 30 x 560 radiators.

If you plan to w/c your CPU+ GPU all you need is a 240 RAD.
Grab yourself a 360 for o/c room and then you're done.

Next thing you need to ask yourself, do you want a silent setup or a loud setup?
Two types of radiators, low fin and high fin.

A radiator will a low fin density such as the Black ice SR1 is suited for low speed fans, while a high density radiator such as the HW extreme is suited for high speed fans.
So take that into account whilst choosing fans and a radiator.

My personal preference is Hardware Labs or XPSC for radiators.

As for pumps the safe option is either the D5 or DDC pump.

Seems like im a corsair dick rider too :(  I like the look of their logo haha
picked up the HX850 today at frys along with the cosmos 2 case

thing is was freaking huge  couldn't fit my trunk so i had to squeeze it in back seat


I could still use some Radiator suggestions before ordering em
noticed some where "thicker" than others   
would thicker be better than slimmer ones?




I'll can post some pics in a bit if i can find my card reader

Thanks for the rad info

Does tubing size matter or make much of a difference?
for the two pumps you mentioned one is  3/8's and the other  is 1/2 fitting

I use 3/8 ID x 1/2 OD Tygon tubing, slightly thinner and easier to work with than 1/2 x 3/4 tubing. Performance wise the difference is size is not noticeable.
I always recommend Tygon, the bending radius is by far the best out of all the brands.

Both pumps come with barb fittings, you can buy replacement pump tops to allow compression fittings.
