For that kind of a loop, a Laing D5 might be more practical. The DDC is made for small(er) loops, and though it may handle your loop, it is a better option to get a D5 instead. Other than that, everything else seems nice.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Just out of curiosity what would be needed for doing SLI because I'm not to sure if I have all the fittings and tubing to set up SLI

Ah yes. I forgot to ask you something. Are you going to be using regular compression fittings and tubing to connect the two cards, or are you going to buy something like this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/19897/ex-blc-1450/EK_Terminal_Block_-_Dual_Parallel_3-Slot_-_Black_Acetal_EK-FC_Terminal_DUAL_Parallel_3-Slot.html?tl=g57c593s1895 or this http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g/c703/s2056/list/p1/b145/Bitspower_International_Co_Ltd-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Fittings-12mm_Rigid_Fitting-Page1.html and http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g/c633/s2057/list/p1/b145/Bitspower_International_Co_Ltd-Rigid_Acrylic_-_Tubing-12mm_Rigid_Tubing-Page1.html to connect your two cards?

 

EDIT: The formatting is so bad. I'll try to fix it.

A ddc would be fine, I've seen them used in much bigger loops with more blocks with no issues. @KingCry if you want a DDC pump, I'd suggest getting a pump+res combo from FrozenCPU.

 Bitspower makes really really nice ones.

Oh something I noticed @KingCry you picked 140mm fans with 120mm fan radiators :P

 

If you can, I highly suggest trying to find gentle typhoon ap-14 or ap-15 fans, if you can't find them, the next best thing would be noise blocker E loops.

Ebay has lots of typhoons last I checked, I can't remember what the prices were though. If you do a google search and go through the first page or two, you should be able to find some.

 

(Some places are trying to charge more than they're worth, don't spend over ~22$ a fan)

So I'm trying to finish up with getting my parts list ready and I have come to a total Halt with it do to SLI as I have really no idea what your be need due to no one really mentions SLI set up procedures from what I have seen. 

So the blocks I am gonna be using are these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/22130/ex-blc-1581/EK_GeForce_780_GTX_Ti_VGA_Liquid_Cooling_Block_-_Nickel_Acetal_EK-FC780_GTX_Ti_-_AcetalNickel.html
 But I am gonna be placing the cards in PCI-E slot 1 and 2 on my Sabertooth Z87 motherboard and I don't know what i should be getting for fittings and adapters.
