Custom loop water cooling help

Hey guys, I currently have the Asus v1 formula and the CM storm Stryker my build isn't particularly demanding, and I currently have the Noctua NH-D14 ( of which I would be removing the 2 fans that come with it and attaching to a radiator).
I was going to get a Corsair H100i but have decided against it as I can accumulate these parts over time, Its better in the long run, looks better essentially more expensive but worth it.

Anyway so after a couple days of researching i'm just considering a couple parts and I'm wondering what you guys reckon or if you suggest any improvements.
Water Cooling System Specs:
1. $25 Tubing - Primo Flex Advanced LRT - http://www.primochill.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=338

2. Water Block

a. $59 - XSPC Raystorm (Looks amazing in my opinion)
b. $99 - Koolance CPU 380I
c. AquaComputer Cuplex Kryos XT

3. Radiator


4. $ 108.95 Pump – Swift Tech MCP655 - http://www.swiftech.com/mcp655.aspx

5. $25 Reservoir - MCRES Micro Rev2 Reservoir -http://www.swiftech.com/mcresmicrorev2reservoir.aspx

I do not want to cut away at my case either so i'm unsure which radiator to get to fit at the bottom I wanted to just get a 240 mm bottom mounted radiator and plug my noctua fans in to replace the stock but again forums are conflicting saying I need way more then one etc?.
I would appreciate your help in assisting me finish off this theory crafting so I can buy it. On a side note I would love to make use of the formula in built water cooling feature.
Cheers,
Zac

thats kits if your interested, they have what you need ( exept fan controller ).
and if you want to hook up the NB on the formula you have to add 2 extra fittings to it.
