Default First time Watercooling questions

Ok I am wanting to dable into the world of water cooling....I have heard that just like building a computer it is best to custome build instead of prebuild...Do you think that for my first watercooling setup it would be better to get a kit???

Is it cheaper to custom build???

And if I do go the route of custom build I have no clue on what to look for...Would some of you be willing to design me a good kit or reccomend a good kit...
Price is really not a issue but dont get crazy...

Thanks in advance..
Strider
