Is that enough to get a good watercooling system going? If so, lets see your parts list guys! im in the market! sorry for the yelling!

also I would like to see 250-300 range

one for CPU only and another for CPU+GPU please. And can I get silent cooling without sacrificing performance from the water cool parts?

What do you plan on cooling? Cpu? GFX? That should be a good start, but it all depends on what you are planning to cool. I got my first set-up used on here cheap. If you piece it together, you can find some good deals. IMO, the only things worth coolling are CPU and GFX cards. If you can, try to run 2 separate loops.
yes for cpu may cost more for gpu
standard setup
1/2 inch barbs for everything

mcp655 pump or mcp355

7/16" on 1/2" barbs makes a good seal. (even without any kind of clamps) You can use screw clamps or zip-ties to ensure a good seal if you're worried.

I have 1/2 barbs tubing 7/16 I have no leaks so for. With the tubing and barbs you will have a tight seal.

If you want it silent get a fan controller

I really don't think I need to do any watercooling on my GPUs as I am not doing any vmods on them
