im going to use two seperate loops, one for the gp and one for the cpu as im also going to upgrade to 6-core i7 next year.
Since my case is the silverstone fortress 2, there is no room for the radiators to fit inside so im going to have them mounted externally on a phobya radiator stand.
In there im going to have one phobya G-changer 360 radiator for i7 970 cpu and one phobya xtreme quad radiator for the GTX 580(going to add a second card later next year).
For the pumps, im most likely to go with the swiftech mcp655, one for each loop.
Tubing wise, im thinking of getting clear tubing size 3/8 and put uv reative coolant or get uv reative tubing instead.

good choice on the cpu mate, best hex intel out there
as for ur rads mate a 360 might be overkill unless ur going for an utterly stonking overclock on it, plus the 580 isnt a hot bugger like the 480 ull prob get away with a 360 on that

will the 360 cope with 2 x gtx 580's in SLI?

not sure mate to be honest but it should be fine since its not a super hot card unless ur about to clock the balls of them

True that they are not hot cards, i still got a few week to think about it before i start ordering the parts.
