Default Water Cooling

Ok, I dont know much about water cooling. I need some help pick out water cooling stuff. I dont think I want a kit unless you guys recommend it. Heres what I want to cool with water:
2 X GPU (6800GT)
1 X CPU (Socket 939)

I want good parts. I also want it to look really cool too. I have about $500 to spend.

For the pump, im saying this one http://www.frozencpu.com/ex-pmp-09.html the other one is just far too powerful and actually requires it to be plugged in to an external power outlet, so you dont really want that.

About all the other stuff, it all looks fine and dandy, at first the GPU looked way too extravagent, then i realised it was for a SLI setup, so yeh, i would expect it to be expensive, maybe consider buying two seperat GPU waterblocks, might be a bit cheaper..... no

Thanks for your help. Right now I would just like to know if what I have picked out looks good. And were the best place to cut cost would be (I dont want to pay quite that much).
