Couple suggestions if you would consider them. I would HIGHLY recommend that you switch your 3570 with a 3770k, because of the performance boost you will get for JUST another $20 more. Considering you are spending a hefty amount on that i380 block by Koolance, it would let you OC much much better and keep your system more future proof than it already is.
Also for the Res, consider this:

This will give you more possiblities to plan out your loop and considering this is your first time, I would highly recommend that you have as much options possible as you can.

Looking at your parts list.
The rad's you've chosen are the high density rads and require a good high pressure fans to get the proper performance out of them. The Gentle Typhoons you've chosen may be running closer to max RPM's to achieve this. These will be the loudest part of your build so far. I like to use the Feser 55mm thick fans for these rads as they are nice and quite. Only it can be tricky to make the room for the thick fans.
I agree with Daz that 1 triple rad would be enough but once you add the GPU you may wish to add a second 120 or 240 rad just to keep things ultra cool. The general rule of thumb is 1 rad core / block. Having 2 rad cores / block will have a nice cool running system for sure.Last edited by Hooded; 03-31-2013, 12:42 PM.Blue Dragon CM690 II an i7 - 960 x58 build

Does anyone know for sure if two 1/2id x 3/4od compression fittings will sit side by side on the Koolance 380I block?Blue Dragon CM690 II an i7 - 960 x58 build

I used these BP fittings http://www.dazmode.com/store/product...itting_silver/ to eliminate any problems that the standard fittings might have created. Much better for the cable bends as well. Seemed like a no-brainer for my build.

Personally I would go with the the Bitspower Multi-Z 250 res you posted as opposed to the EKWB - EK-Multi option X3 RES 250. However both would work just fine using a tube or fitting between the res and pump.
I suggest you take a close look at the Bitspower Pump accessories and Reservoir accessories. Here is a complete Bitspower Pump Res setup.

The above would have the res and pump mounted together. The EK Res and Pump top setup does not allow for this.Blue Dragon CM690 II an i7 - 960 x58 build
