Umm, don't get that rad, just don't!

It's allumumimium (whatever) and it will corrode like crazy because of the copper waterblock.

Get at least a copper rad...

 

Pump wise i would get the swiftech one because it's at least somewhat decent :P

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

If you can find a reservoir for it, it's the better option, but that might become expensive.

is it cumpolsary to use a res i remember in scrapyard wars both linus and luke decided to skip the res

With that pump, very likely.

As far as i can see the intake of the pump isn't threaded so you can't screw a fitting in it.

Not using a res sucks. Atleast in my experience. Bleadijng the look only took a few minutes even with the parallel loop. Now it's been a few days and it's just trapped. 

 

Those will perform the same. Cheapening out only means the stuff won't last. You only listed two pumps and one is incomplete. The design of the CPU block will offer mediocre results. An aio would be better at this point.

These are reservoirs and pump tops. Not the actual pump.

do i need to buy anything else(except tubing)

That's only a top+reservoir. You would still need a pump for it.
