I am completely new to watercooling, never gone near it or considered it... until now.

I don't have too much money, but i want a beginner kit, something that'll help me learn, but will also provide decent performance.

I have a max budget of about £130. This is what i was considering:

With 2 Yate loon fans.

Is this a good beginner kit, can i get anything better for a £130 budget?

Thank you

its *alright* http://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/catalog/ You would get better stuff from there, In all honestly you would be better off to save up and then buy your parts.

You will need a T line or res to bleed and drain your system. In this you also need coolant, tubing and fans.

Can anyone help build a better system from custom parts for £130 then?

How easy is installation, i'm very new to watercooling and a little nervous about it.

Better?
That list is great. I suggest you plan your mod to fit a 240 or 360 Rad.
But that pump is great for single block loop, and you cant beat a Fusion V2

Well, the problem is that the list above reaches £139 already without anything like liquid, tubing, barbs, reservoir.

Am I being completely unrealistic to expect a kit for £130 or are you guys just choosing me the best components on the market?

You can go for a smaller pump:

And you can save with a cheaper, slightly less effective Rad:

What rad size can you fit in your case?
Or what case are you using, and where do you want to mount it? (external or internal)

I have a Coolermaster Cosmos RC1000 and was looking to try and mount a dual 120mm rad internally.

One thing, good W/C components have future, ie you wont need to upgrade a block with a new chip, so the investment pays off more than with PC hardware...
I like your thinking i suggest a :

Clamps:

You should still have some change for coils and coolant...
