Another WC Suggestion Build Thread

Going to make the move to water and so far this is what I have comeup with. I highly welcome suggestions.
I would like to keep it all in the same price too

You did your homeworks Kev! Everything looks good to me. Only thing i would change is the pump and radiator. But since it's a whole kit and the price is pretty good and anyway it's your first time watercooling, then i think all will be good for your first time.

You get my thumb-up for this.

If you have any-more questions, post away! I'd be more than happy to help you out. Or come chat with me on msn since i can't sleep... I have been thinking of that girl since 2 days already and i can't shut my brain off for sleep because of that.

I haven't liked what I've read about the Magicool rads on the NCIX foums and information on the web has been scarce from my searching. Just to avoid that rad you can buy separately. I have the Black Ice rad and it works great for me.
I put in 2 CPU blocks because the D-Tek seems to be always out of stock and wait time might be long.
Put in a MCP655 pump as well as it might be better suited for potential upgrades down the road.
I bought alot of my stuff from the special sales here and I saved some good dollars on my loop here
You can also pricematch at NCIX as they carry much of the same inventory

Yeah thats what i was saying. But since it was an all in one kit... But yeah, if you want to go with what JayDee posted above, i agree!

What JayDee proposed is very similar to the Swiftech H2O-220 kit, but 10$ cheaper. Go for it, you'll like it.

Just a heads-up - the clamps listed are 3/8", you'll want 1/2". And that Clearflex tubing is thick-walled, so make sure the clamps can handle the outside diameter.

Nice kit, I would change the rad though. I'd try and get a MCR320, because it works very well with Yate Loon fans.

Yup = I changed the link to the 1/2" now

Also correct about the clamps/tubing thickness. If you go with a kit or separately purchased parts it's always good to have some thin zip-ties ready if the barbs are too close to permit use of the clamps. I picked up 120 zip-ties at the dollar store for a buck.

ROFL = that's right! I didn't notice how close to the kit it was
Two big differences would be the BIX rad and D-Tek CPU block though - I have those on my loop and they work great for me :)
I think 4 of those Yate loons on the BIX rad would be cool.
