Smile Cooling upgrade

Ok boys i think i am tired of these load fans.
I am interested in a good water cooling system that will cool my V/C and CPU.
Budget: No more than $250.00.(Prefer not to go higher, but i will if i have to)

I need this to fit my mid case(External is an options) and i would love to run 1/2 tubbing.
I thought of Danger Den but im not sure what TDX and RBX means. So i would love your guys's imput on these systems.

I want a good system so i dont have to upgrade in the future. It needs to cool this P4 3.4ghz clocked @ 4.016ghz (Possibly going to clock higher). Also i am planning to clock my V/C as well.
Specs are in my sig and photos of my case are in my profile.

Any suugestions out there?

well first i would recommend reading the watercooling guide.

The TDX uses one intake and one output, It likes high gph pumps.

the RBX uses 2 intakes and one output.

You will not see more than 1 or 2 c change favoring the RBX and the TDX, assumming you can hook up the RBX right.

It is alot more work because you have to use a y line to hook the tubing into the block.

Well i have read the FAQ on the water cooling. It is rather difficult for me to understand but if anyone has a photo or picture of the setup on such a beast. Or can you direct me to a link on a setup of this nature. I probably would understand a little better. (Pictures worth a thousand words)

I think i will go for the TDX setup.
I have desided to purchase the water blocks for my CPU and GPU separately.

GPU block

CPU block

And the 1/2 tubing i can get at my local fish store (In bulk) for cheap.
So through me out some links and suggestions for the the rest.

Updated GPU block

I would recommend getting a maze 4 gpu block so you can save some money there.

Get a double heatercore if you can fit it, or just a single if you cant.

A Eheim pump, any on danger dens site will do.

and a sunnon fan.

you can look in my rigshow case and see how i set up my watercooling on my old case

Ok after reading the W/C guide. What i am getting from this in the guide:

Quoted by DeathONator in his FAQ
Pump: The pump will circulate the water in your system. The pump’s gallons per hour (GPH) rating, its max head rating, and its reliability/longevity are very important things to look at. The GPH of the pump tell us how many GPH the pump can output if nothing is restricting the flow of the water/coolant, and the pump is not pumping the water against gravity. The max head rating tells us how “strong” the pump is. This rating is how many feet above the pump, it can deliver the water. So from this we can tell how well the pump can overcome pumping water against gravity, or through a heater core or waterblock, where the flow of the water is restricted. I recommend the Eheim 1250, but if you wanted to 12VDC pump, this one would be great. If you can afford it, get the 12V pump. It should give you better flow rates in a high restriction system as well.

So what i got from the artical is the more GPH and the max head rating would be best for a computer.

What would be the max for both option for a computer?
What would be overkill?
