    hi keiranjh

    water cooling is one of most popular ways of cooling your p.c these days however its one of the times you should not cut corners or try to do it on the cheap

    there are some excellent kits avalible however in your case i would recommend whats known as a closed loop water cooling configuration

    this is made up of just two components,theres the cpu water block with the pump built in and then theres the radiator and fan which cools the pre-filled coolant that runs in the loop from the cpu to the rear of the your pc

    there are many closed loop kits however one of the best and cheapest set ups is the "Coolit Systems Domino A.L.C Silent Watercooling System"( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prod... )

    this is a excellent kit and also comes with a led readout for temperture monitoring which is a nice feature

    another kit worth considering is the Swiftech H2O 120 Compact Kit ( http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prod... is anothe closed loop kit however its slightly bigger than the first kit

    you may also find that setting up a water cooling rig when buying the parts seperately is much more expensive than buying a kit

    the well known cooling manufactuer "zalman" also do some excellent water cooling components and kits,check them out at http://www.zalman.co.kr/ENG/product/CategorySecond...

    any problems let me know

    good luck !
