Ok, there are often many posts about wanting to build a system without researching components- I will tell you what to get right here. (Since prices change and availability is not consistent I will NOT post links to where to get the parts!)
You need:
Water block- best is Cascade, next is White Water.
Pump- Eheim 1250 The reputation they have is there for a reason
Radiator- Chevette heater core. Best performance unless you spend over a hundred bucks- and I'm not sure about that yet (still waiting for reviews.)
Tubing- 1/2" ClearFlex
Reservoir- stop it! Use a T-Line. get one Tee fitting and a rubber plug for the top of it.
Fans- use two 120mm fans on the radiator in push/pull. Make your own shrouds.
Use a few ounces of car antifreeze mixed with distilled water to fill the system.
There, now you know what parts will make you an excellent
water cooling system.
Of course, you don't know WHY they are good, but if you wanted to know WHY you'd want to do the research and learn, right?
If you don't want to learn but just want to Buy stuff, believe me, the above list WILL get you a system that is better than any kit or pre-configured system for sale by anyone.
