Need a little help choosing tubing and fittings

I'm putting together an order at koolertek and need some help choosing tubing and fittings since I'll be cooling 2 parts. Parts so far:
XSPC RAYSTORM special red led edition.
SWIFTECH MCP655 PUMP (LIANGD5)
XSPC AX 360 RAD
XSPC DUAL 5.25 BAY RES..NOTE: description says I need original screw ring for D5.????
The Rad and waterblock and Res use 1/4" but the pump uses 1/2". Does this matter in tubing size since it will be added to the Res..
I'm assuming I'll need a 1/4" to 3/8" compression fitting for the raystorm out to the mobo in along with 3/8 tubing and clamps for the mvf barbs.
1/4" to 3/8" compression fittings for Res out to raystorm in. I suppose I should just use 3/8" tubing all around unless you think the raystorm in and rad should be larger diameter. I'll be using primo chill red tubing.
I'm a complete noob at this but after a lot of research on rads and pumps I think I got some good stuff picked out for quiet operation.

Note: Items not included and required for usage:
-Pump (Laing D5 / Swiftech MCP655-B / Swiftech MCP655 / Alphacool VPP)
-Pump Top (Single or Dual)
-Fittings

that way you can use the fittings that suits you, and dont have to think about what will fit or not.

Nevermind.
I just found an online store that had 4 Swiftech H220s in stock and snagged one....WHOO HOOO.
I cant believe I found one....I will get the other stuff I want later.It can be used for GPU cooling.

Order of H220 canceled due to stock issues.
You would think a big company like micro center would have real time stock levels for thier online vending.
