What fans to choose

If you were going for noctua don't get those. Those are airflow optimized. Go with NF-F12s. There are some other alternatives if you didn't want to go noctua. Noiseblocker E-loops or Scythe gentle typhoons are other common fans that everyone recommends.

What rads are you going to be using?

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

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

EX 360 and a EX 240 rads

You'll want a decent RPM fan then. I suggest NF-F12's or Noiseblocker eLoops @ 1300 RPM +

yea, true that, I still don't like it - but that's just aesthetics.

 

and pccg still doesn't carry black noctua fans, so unless he can get a hold of black fans elsewhere, he will have reg noctua colors

It wouldn't be near silent, but it will have *some* noise. Remember that your pump will also be making some noise. If you want a near silent system get some low FPI rads. What are you going to be cooling @ what clocks?  You should check into Alphacool and HardwareLabs rads. They make some great low FPI radiators.

What graphics card do you have? Is it a dual GPU card, and what case do you have?

Get yourself a Black Ice SR-1 360 and 240 or an Alphacool UT60 360 and a 240. For the fans, get some Noiseblocker eLoops or Noiseblocker PLPS fans. You can also use Noctua NF-F12s, but it is up to you.

Doesn't matter what tubing size you use.

Just buy the 1300 RPM version.

so all fittings are compatible with rads?

As long as they have G1/4 threads, it'll fit.
