Some people don't stick with H2O cooling, sad but true. If it is your first system you might wanna start with cheapo vinyl, make sure that water cooling is right for you, and then move up to better tubing.

I started with vinyl tubing and a 3/8" ID system, and then I switched to the braided PVC tubing I could get locally. That stuff is BEEFY and I had no worries about kinks. Then I upgraded to a 1/2" ID system, and the vinyl tubing kept flattening out between the block and intake of pump. That was when I got some silicone from DDen. I love the stuff and if you know you are going to be water cooled in the future I think it is definitely worth it.
