Yes, a T-line is a replacement for a reservoir. I do not like reservoirs since they are usually made of plastic and they almost always leak.

As for your list, your link to the CPU block goes to the radiator.

As for the GPU block remember that modern video cards will need ramsinks on the memory chips and sometimes even the voltage regulation areas. I would skip water cooling the video card if you are new to water cooling.

Also, I run 7/16" ID lines since they fit more tightly over the 1/2" ID barbs giving me that extra bit of protection and there is no difference in cooling performance with the slightly smaller tubes.

Look into a DangerDen fillport or something like it as well, sure makes filling the system easier.

You will need to prime the pump while filling it which can be a pain. Don't run the pump dry for more than a few seconds.

As for the routing of the waterlines I suggest running them however looks the best since it doesn't matter what comes first in the loop.

Post back any more questions and I will try to get them answered.
