I've decided to get liquid cooling and then hopefully do some OC on the cpu and gpu.I was hoping to get some advice from some liquid cooling enthusiasts, is there a benefit to buying all the parts separately as opposed to buying a kit or a LC case like a thermal-take of some sort ? . Also what size psu will i need once i have a liquid cooled system ,

( specs 8800 ultra hopefully OC'd intel core 2 duo e6600 OC'd ... 2gb ram , 150gb raptor HD a couple of optical drives and of course the the watter cooling system once i get it.)

Also if at all possible could some one post some info or sources on water cooling setups and guides of some sort so i can start some were . any feed back is appreciated.

I would recomend buying all your parts seperate, while it is a pain in the ass it allows for far more control of your water cooling. Tom's Hardware has some good stuff and so does maximum pc, allthough they are kinda old. if you gie me a budget i can recomend you some parts for your syestem.

thanks for the info really helped ill check them out , as for udget its kinda unspecified im just gonna pick up the parts when i can then assemble when i have it all so it may take some time befor ei even have all the bits , aiming for mid level gear at least above the standard/lower tier items if you know what i mean.

built a wc pc a year ago. i went the kit route rather then buying all the equipment individually. basically the system was integrated into the case to it was really simple. just had to purchase seperate waterblocks for the cpu and gpu. you will not get the highest performace out of it but it makes things easy to hook up
