Hello i'm building a new system and i'm looking for the best high quilty/performance water cooling kit that will fit with this system i'v looked around on forzencpu but I wanted to get your guys advice too.

Heres the build

Motherboard: A8R32-MVP Crossfire

Cpu: Athlon 64 FX60

Video: X1900XTX 512mb/ X1900 CrossFire Edition 512mb

Ram: CORSAIR XMS 2GB DDR 433

Case: Thermaltake Kandalf or Thermaltake Armor not sure which on I want yet

Any help or advice would be great as i'm trying to make sure this build stays cool even when I overclock it.

The price of the kit i'm not worried about as long as it dosent go over $500

What case do you have? (Do you have a case yet?)
Do you care for internal/external?
Quiet, performance, blend between both?

I have an external setup for $175.

I dont have a case yet but I probably go with the Thermaltake Armor
is there any differnce internal/external? and I think i'll want more performance over being quiet

fstfrddy

You can have performance and quiet, heatercore is the way to go but they are best suited to external unless youhave a monster of a case.

<--------------one version of external

I'll be running dual video cards so i'll probably need a kit that can handle that any ideas?

Geeze, nice case. anyway i'm really trying to make sure I dont get a kit that cant handle this system I want something thats high quilty/performance anybody have a kit like this or know of one

Case: U2 UFO I really recommend this one. It has space for anything, and it is sturdy as hell.
RAD: Thermochill PA 120.3 The best triple 120mm radiator there is.
Pump: MCP655/DD-D5/Liang-D5 That’s about the only place it’s in stock.
CPU Block: Apogee Better for Dual Core than the Storm.
GPU Block: MCP60 W/ RamSinks Can't really go wrong here.
Reservoir: Typhoon 5.25" This is just my recommendation. I suggest the dual 5.25" model, just because it is easy to work with and it has a large fluid capacity, which will reduce the amount of top offs you will need.
NB Cooling: Zalman Passive The RD580 chipset (Xpress 3200) produces 8 watts of heat, meaning it can almost be run without a heatsink whatsoever (not recommended). WC is not recommended, (it reduces flow too much) this will work very well.
Optional HDD: Asetek 3.5" W/ Heat Pad If you do WC your hard drive (Not necessary, but no harm done.), this is the best performance per dollar. Do not get the 5.25" one.
Optional Non-Conductive Fluid: Take your pick. If it spills on your parts, they won't fry. Added security, a little lower performance.
Tubing: Tygon Can't really beat this stuff.
Fans: Take your pick of any 120mm fans. 3 would be good, 6 would be better. It lets you choose noise-performance ratio.
