I'm selling my current PC (XPS 420) and building a new custom. The parts are as follows and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a few good pumps, res's, rad's, etc.

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz
PSU: Rosewill RX630-S-B 630W 80 PLUS Certified
GPU: EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB
Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (4 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800
Mobo: EVGA NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel
HDD: Western Digital Caviar SE 320GB 7200 RPM
Optical Drive: LITE-ON 22X DVD Burner with LightScribe
Case: NZXT ZERO 2 Crafted Series CS-NT-ZERO-2 Black Steel

I intend on one loop for now for just the cpu. but eventually adding the GPU to the loop. What are the best parts?

Cpu: Apogee GTZ
Rad: 360 GTX, MCR230, or TFC 360
Pump: MCP655 Vario
Res: Swiftech Micro Res Ver 2
Tubing: Masterkleer 7/16 ID + worm clamps
Coolant: Distilled water + pt nuke

Look for this stuff at Petras, Sidewinders, or Jabtech for the best prices.

First off I don't know about Rosewill PSU's, not too reliable especially if your watercooling. Maybe look at something like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703005 or this if you want modular http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139002

Pumps I'd look at this
Res this is a good one this one
Radiator if you plan on adding gpu later like stated then this should be efficient
CPU block: this one

Okay. I'm on kind of a tight budget for this cooling setup. So i might have to air cool till i get some more bank. Currently can't spend more than 200 on the WC Setup. Anything I can skimp a little bit on without too much difference in performance?

T-Line replaces a res I'm guessing? whats the benefit of the res compared to a T-Line?

Its easier to fill, and looks cooler, while a t-line is easier to bleed and drain.

)

Total after rebates and shipping comes out to about $1,000

sound about right? let me know if you notice any conflicts that I'm not... Also, can the radiator be mounted in the case? or would that cause too much heat to run through it?

You should order at least 15 feet of tubing, just in case.

As well, I dont see any fittings (which you'll need) most people use G1/4" 1/2OD fittings and you'll also need worm drive clamps or plastic ties to clamp down your loop.
