Waterloop - looking, but not finding a wide selection

Okay, well I've been looking into the parts for a waterloop and I'm not able to find a pretty extensive selection of products. I'm about to leave my house, I'm typing this up real quick so I won't be answering for about an hour (I figure that's time enough for somebody to answer), and I'd like some opinions of what parts you would suggest. Money is not an issue. Here is my newly built computer (The waterloop is my new project now):

Asus P5B Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
500 GB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive
Lite-on DVD RW
nVidia e-GeForce 7950 GT KO Video Card
Coolermaster Centurion 5 Tower
Corsair DIMM 1GB Memory Module (x2)
Silverstone Element 500 Watt Power Supply

You want a waterloop - as in water cooling, correct?

I don't know much about this but I do know most kits are poor quality and that buying seperate parts is the best route to go.

First read THIS if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Is this loop for the cpu only or for cpu and graphics?

Now the centurion 5 is a mid tower, so I would probally have to suggest you go with a radbox and place your radiator externally, then use 7/16'' tubing to route it through the pci slots.

Yes, that's my intention: to get the parts seperately, since kits suck.

I've already read the page about the water loops, and I understand it and I went to those sites and so forth, but the truth of the matter is that this is my first time for liquid cooling and I have no idea what I'm doing. I just need a few part suggestions?

Oops! I intended to answer your question, I remember specifically thinking of putting it in my post, and then it just left me. Yes, I'm looking for both GPU and CPU

Yes, money isn't too big of an object, I don't plan on buying it right away, but I'd like to within the next few months, so I have plenty of time to save.

Here are my suggestions, if its too $$, it can be toned down:

CPU Block: MP-05 SP LE $75

GPU Block: DangerDen Maze5 $42.95
*I suggest you also get some ramsinks of your choice for your card

Radiator: Swiftech MCR-220 $44.99
**RadBOX-Explanation of it @ www.swiftech.com under liquid cooling

Pump: Laing D5 $74.99
*You might also want to muffle vibration with PTS Gel

Quiet Fans: Yate Loon SL X 2

Tubing: Masterkleer 1/2'' & Masterkleer 7/16''
*Buy a little bit of both, you will use the bigger 1/2'' around your pump, and the 7/16'' on everything else including the transition from the radiator into your pci slots.

Clamps: Worm Drive Hose Clamps

Additives:
IF you want some color get this and follow the instructions: Pentosin G11 BLUE $2.99
IF you just want some anti-algae colorless substance, use this and follow instructions: PT NUKE $2.50 (2 drops)

*ALWAYS use distilled water to dilute!
