I am looking to run watercooling in my new PC. I want to cool my CPU along with my GPU..

Thanks for the responses.

Im a water cooling noob but it doesnt look to difficult
 
I've never done watercooling, but i think you can do it better by buying the components yourself and assembling. much like building the actualy computer :)
 
thing is .. i have no idea what i need and then on top of that... i wanna get quality parts.. i would need someone to post a list
 
well for parts, i can list what you need:

Waterlocks (CPU, GPU, Chipset)
Radiator
Tubing
Pump
Additives
Reservoir
T-lines
Fans
 
there are plenty of people here who have done watercooling so you'll definately get some help with that.
 
Hi, this is an update of where I'm at thanks to bomberboysk, I love this guy.

Actually the higher end radiator(RX) competes directly with the feser and thermochill models while the RS series are midrange. Their tops for the Laing DDC are unparalleled however.

Waterblocks:
I personally run a midrange block, the apogee GTZ which is an excellent block for the price. Another good block is the Dtek Fuzion V2, but i personally prefer the GTZ as it has a great finish and good flow rate.

Pump/Res:
I highly recommend the XSPC Resorvoir Top for the MCP355/Laing DDC, it has been tested multiple times to have the best flow rate of any top, eliminates the need for a seperate resorvoir as well(less fittings to deal with, less tubing in the loop, more flow as well)

Radiator:
Most hassle free way to mount a rad in that case would be getting an RX240, Thermochill PA 120.2, or Feser 240.

Fittings:
Cheaper than compressions, barbs are usually the way to go on a budget setup. Bitspower or Dangerden Fatboy barbs have the best flow rate of barbs for 1/2"

Tubing:
Tygon, Feser, Or Clearflex 60 for tubing, and get 1/2" ID by 3/4" OD.

Fans:
Honestly 120x38mm will give you the best results, however most are louder than 120x25mm fans. For 120x25mm fans i recommend the Coolermaster R4's, thats what i run and have decent results. For better cooling though, the medium speed ultra kaze, or the 120x38mm SilenX fans work pretty well.(SilenX fans are pretty pricey though)

So yeah, I'm pretty much set now, hope this helps.
