adding a fan on motherboard side of case

[Curtp51]

yes ur diagram is what i was planning on after getting the Y-split idea from you guys..... i already have a pump,  only had it a couple weeks so if u dont think its strong enough i prolly can get tiger to take it back... its the OCZ OCZTHYDP800 Hydro Pulse Water Pump - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4950648&CatId=499

if you think i should do 2 pumps, its rather easy to do so.  i already got the rads... most of that stuff is set up in the mid tower case now.  i can run a pump and rad to the cpu & NB  and run the second rad and pump to the GPU's.  what u think is best since im still at the start of it all i might as well do it right.  is why i'm setting it up this way....

Yeah, the pump you have is alright for a simple loop, but for a loop with 4 blocks and two 360 rads, you're going to need more power. One pump, even if it's an upper model, would struggle with your set-up. 

I think the best method would be to make two separate loops, each with it's own pump. With a dual-loop set up, you'll be getting brilliant temperatures, and the OCZ pump should be able to handle the smaller loop fine.

OR you could get one of those heavy duty Aquarium pumps like the Iwaki MD-20.

yeh, since i already have 1 pump, i'll just pick up another pump and do the dual loop system. thx again. 

any suggestions on what ssd i should get for my OS???
im looking for around 128gigs and decently priced, so that leaves intel out, lol.... im thinking the Corsair x128 or the OCZ Vertex Turbo.... I just cannot choose...

Right now my system is running on a 640 WD Black HDD, cuz i really like the black series, but i want to get a ssd drive and convert the 640 just for storage along with my other 640 & 2-1tb wd black drives.  i had a maxtor 160gb(might have been a 120 or 140) hdd b4 and that was a piece of S***, so i rolled a 640 to the OS and bought 2-1tb drives. but i still wanna get out of the mechanical drives for my OS.

If you're only using it for your OS, get a small one. 32 GB is more than enough for that. If you do get a big one, at least use it for your programs also. As for which SSD, I like the Corsair P series, mostly for the ITGC (or whatever the hell it is). The OCZ Vertex series is also excellent.

No use getting an SSD if you're not going to put your programs on it as well. Fast Boot times are only half of it, fast program boots seems to be the other half. (3DS Max opens in 3 seconds with an SSD, and 9 seconds with my Caviar Black 1TB.)

i plan on putting programs on it guys.... my os and programs will be on the ssd.  sorry i didnt clerify that better myfirst time around. my other drives will be storage only.  ive looked at the specs and the 128's seem to have faster performance is 1 reason i want to go with that size, also if im only using it for os and programs it should last a hella long time is another reason why and the 3rd reason is i have expansion room cuz you never know what may come out next......
