I suggest reading every sticky and thread that you can to get the knowledge to make a real informed decision.

There is a lot of real nice pieces parts and now some great kits on the market. ThermoChill is the "King of Rads" and after you hold one up to a competitor's rad you will see why. Run the rad in a pull configuration using Yate Loon fans and you can use a shroad if you want but it is not required with the ThermoChill.

The DDC-2 (or called "Ultra" or "Plus") is the top pump for performance vs heat dump on the market today with a 50,000 hr MTBF. The Alphacool Plexi top using the top inlet is a mod worth doing.

The MP-05 SP LE and the Storm rev2 are two of the top CPU blocks on the market topped by the G5. A Maze4 Acetal GPU or the MCW60 or two of the better choices for non-full coverage blocks with EK Waterblocks being the best for full coverage blocks. Buy the Swiftech ram heatsinks for the vid ram.

When it comes to tubing Tygon or MasterKlear 7/16"id 5/8"od is the best choice over 1/2" barbs.

Chemicals: 99.?% Distilled or Deionized water, 1oz antifreeze and 4-5 drops of non-alcohol Iodine.

The more research that you do the more the options people give you will make sense and you will be able to sift through the numerous choices and pick what is right for you. JMO
