i do plan on using a T-virus liquid fusion resevoir, but i can always add that later i would imagine. 

LOL... first time I have heard of it... just watched the video...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRovyKw9wHQ 
 
Crazy cool... not my style as it will clutter up the case which will not be a problem for your mountain mods case.  Speaking of... looks like Nate is here... he is you mountain mods man!

@ Nate... how did you get -46*c on your chiller???  Best I could get was -31 in a 10*F room!  Was that the coolant or the evaporator?

i've spoke with Nate already, he is off to work and he'll talk to me later about other tiny details, at the moment i need the goods
I'm probably gonna go with that koolance pump/res combo, is the pump decent quality? enough for a good gpu loop?

thanks alot guys, making me feel very welcome, very glad purchased an evga board.
i haven't built anything yet i think i've already been bit

Your Welcome. 
 
 You have only been bit a little... wait til the cold bug gets you... LOL!

i'm sure it'll happen.
still can't find any waterblocks for 5870 and 5970, i'm gonna wanna go with the same brand of each.
Any recommendations?
i'm guessing that 3/8 inch tubing is the best bet?

As long as you get the big pump... it is one of the best... Swiftech, and Danger Den both rebrand that Laing Pump.
 
Mind you... I have never tried one of those Koolance Rez combos... I have no idea of the build quality.  IO just like the all in one idea of the pump/res and monitor.
 
I have two of those pumps... they are only 3/8" barbs... but they are awesome pumps.

okay so i'm set in stone on that res/pump combo
Now i need blocks tubing and fittings, and radiator
i've heard good things about Feser and Thermochill, would 120.3 would you reccommend?

You will get mixed opinions on the tube size... I have not made up my mind yet... I will probably go with 3/8" or 7/16" on 1/2" barbs unless I find that 1/2" tubing really increase flow enough to make a huge performance difference.  Since you are not extreme on the overclock yet pick which one you like the looks of... but by all means use Tygon r3603... better than anything else no matter what you hear.   IMHO of course.  I have not tried Primoflex... it might be as good... not sure... but it does come in colors.

Let me know how you like the rez... I'm curious.  And if you don't like it... send it back.  I just really like that all-in-one idea... even if it is overpriced!  I don't like the fittings or the sharp angles... but that is minor I guess.
 
As far as rads... I don't think it makes  ahuge difference.... here is a review:
