best of the best

Looking into buying a premade water cooling system. Has to be cold and quiet. What are the best of the best out there on the market budget will be 200pounds but if it cost more than that would still want to know about it, any advice on buying a cooling system at all would be great.

thanks

Pretty much everyone here will tell you that kits aren't great and you should read the forums for a couple of weeks to figure out how to put together your own stuff. If you really want a kit maybe check out dangerden.com or acetek (spelling?) kits.

Best WB ATM is the Cascade SS - not available however. Look to the new MCW6000 or the D-Tek White Water or the Danger Den RBX for good performance

Pump - Best in terms of what? Noise? Heat? Flow? Reliablity? IMO you cant go wrong with the Swiftech MCP600 or the Laing D4, both powerful and run on 12V. IMO an Iwaki MD-20RZT would be the best but expensive and large.

Radiator - a good single pass heatercore - don't know the model # off the top of my head. Or a couple of smaller 6x6 heatercores in parallel or series.

Tubing - IMO Tygon rules

Reservoirs - IMO they are useless.

I would allawya recomend a res to a n00b (at watercooling) though... they make it a LOT easier for things such as filling and bleeding a system. I would stay clear of the bayres idea though but anything else is OK.
