start with a decent bundled kit that includes block, pump, resi, and a rad then add on it from there.

Buy $120 Air condition than connect it with a big tube to a computer is the best way. You can use keep you room cooler in the summer time too. In the winter time just suck the cold air in is more then enough freeze your computer. I think water cooling system is a waste. thumb.gif

I second a Raystorm 750 kit. Make sure you check the space between the top of your mobo and top of the case. Add the fan thickness and Rad thickness together to make sure it will fit! I bought a fat GTX 240 and it wouldn't fit in the top of my 600t had to get a GT Stealth 240 .

I third the Raystorm kit. I have one on my OC'd i7-2700k system and it keeps my 4.8GHz system running at 57-62C 24/7 at 100% load (Folding) for weeks on end.

I don't think you GPU is reference so you might not be able to put it underwater unless you use a universal GPU block.

If you can stretch to it then I'd get the XSPC Raystorm D5 Kit... the pump is alot better and will last you for your next few upgrades. It's a great starter kit, as is the 750, I recommend both.

If you don't want a bay res (which can be noisy when pump attached) then we can make you up a custom kit! We can help you with making sure you buy all the bits you need or with any issues you become stuck with.

My thoughts with your case are stick a 240mm rad in the top (or a 360mm one but you will lose the top bays) and a 200mm fan at the front. I'm not 100% sure a 200mm will fit... you will have to measure and check. That would be a very neat setup with plenty of cooling capacity.

If you are happy going custom-loop, I can have a look at frozencpu.com for you.

Cheers,

DB

The D5 Raystorm EX360 I got is a bay res, and it is whisper quiet in my "White Ranger" rig.

As long as you have a good case that doesn't rattle to begin with (I absolutely love my Switch 810 case), it shouldn't give you an issues as far as noise.

And yeah, FrozenCPU is an excellent place to get it.
