i never really thought about water cooling before but since looking on overclockers, i was thinking about getting one, like i said i am a water cooling rookie and dont know much about them so i thought i go for a kit instead of building one. do you think that this kit would be a good place so start?

if so would i be able to add 2 VGA blocks without needing to upgrade the pump and rad?
Thanks
 
If you are looking at the sub 100 pound price range the best kit is the Swiftech H20-120 Compact. However be warned, at this price range, a heavily overvolted, overclocked quad is a struggle for these kits, but it will provide much better cooling than the best HSF, the Tuniq Tower 120.

It is also one of the easiest water-cooling kits to build thanks to the small number of components, and the clearly written and illustrated manual. If you want to take your quad in the region of 4GHz however, you will need a the next model up, the H20-220 Compact.
 
If you want to add two video cards into your loop, you better stop looking at kits, rise your budget and get proper components and build a kit yourself.

If you tell us your spec and budget we can give you a parts list, and it isnt hard to put together, so there is no reason not to just buy separate parts, its good :)
 
it is a single rad only ment for cooling your cpu-you start adding vga water blocks you'll need a bigger rad and i would consider a better pump!

the one above shifts 400ltrs per/h mine shifts something like 1200ltrs per/h!!

i have 2 dual rads and a single waiting to go into my antec1200 so i can cool my gpu's and ram etc

this is a good kit--->http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...oupid=701&catid=193&subcat=1038&name=Swiftech H2O-220 Apex Ultra+ Watercooling Kit (Socket 462/478/LGA775/754/939/940)

good pump not the best cpu water block but good however once you start getting near the £200 range you might aswell design your own!!
