Whats a good cooling setup for me?

just a noob said:
ek supreme $64
quad feser rad $160
liang ddc 3.2 $65
aftermarket top for said liang pump $25(neccessary if you want to use 1/2 inch fittings)
tubing $3.04/foot
fittings $2.50 each
reservoir $25
sli fitting(if you have the room, you can just connect the bottem of the reservoir to the pump top) $3.50
metal rad box(quad radiator just crushes the second revision) $8
yate loons(some of the better fans you can buy at this price point) $24 total $6/each
pt nuke(stops you loop from going funky) $2.50(one bottle will last you forever, just mix according to the label with distilled)
total: $362+shipping(roughly)
p.s. you could always add in a graphics card later with the quad, and if you think you're going to get feser one, and if it gets on any of your stuff that you'll be safe, that's all marketing, but if you want it for the color, thats fine

Id recommend a swiftech apogee GTZ or Dtek Fuzion revision 2 waterblock....

any particular reason as to why?

Same temps on waterblocks pretty much... but they have better flow than the EK supreme(which is a very restrictive block), and if your cooling a gpu then your temps would therefore be lower because of better flow.Plus they are similarly priced....

valid point i guess, if we really want to get into that arguement, i would suggest a heatkiller 3.0 :P

Lol, those are nice waterblocks too, i was thinking about using one of those when i upgrade my aircooling to a watercooling setup in 6 months or so,such a tough decision considering the heatkillers are only marginally better than the GTZ, my decision will more than likely weigh upon how much i have saved towards w/c'ing

figured out how im going to mount the rad, and i changed the tubing and pump, changed to the mcp665-b becuase it already comes with 1/2 fittings, no need to buy a replcement top, and changes tubing to feser red UV reactive.I am going to get L brackets and im going to plAce the rad over the 200 mm ran, hope it will work, how heavy is the rad by the way, it looks extremely heavy. Im getting the dtek fuzion v2 when it gets back in stock,

Rad is pretty decent chunk of weight, but i would personally go with the apogee gtz over the dtek fuzion v2 as there is more spacing between the barbs on the gtz= more space for you to get the tubing on(the fuzion they are almost side by side).
 
whats you opinion on primochill vs feser tubing, i have a microcenter near my house but they only sell primochill tubing
