Hi all,

I'm new to this forum, and all things water cooling. Now I have dones some reading around here, and other places in general so I know roughly what I need (going to start building soon bit by bit). I will be cooling my CPU and GPU. So far I have on my list:-

RAD: Thermochill 120.3 Rad, (not really sure whether this is a bit overkill, but for the extra £5 may aswell get this over the 120.2!)

PUMP: Eheim 1048/1250 or a D-tek AquaXtreme 50Z depending if I can be bothered to order it from America (chose these on the basis of Cathers "how much pump is enough" thread)

BLOCK: Seeing as I won't be needing a blockuntil at least January I'm hoping I might be able to get a Storm G4. Not sure on the GPU one as I haven't really looked into them.

RES: Now this is where I am properly stuffed! I have done a search on all the forums but no-one seems to say what is the best one. is there any difference in perfermance between any of them, eg the Bay Res's, dual bay etc or does it simply not matter on what I go for?

Cheers for your help, and I am open to any comments/suggestions to any of the above.
