liiiike..... kroger? :thup:

what about the rest of the cooling questions? and btw how does my setup look?
 
all the newegg links dont work for me.. also search around on pricewatch and froogle for good deals. buying used stuff is also a money saving alternative. 2l is too much for a KIT system
 
almsot none of those links work for me...the wc setup link does though, that's marginal for watercooling, are you planning to overclock a lot?
btw- why do you say you're gonna get a gpu waterblock...and then later list the TherrmalTake Giant III for cooling??
 
All you will need is a short piece of tubing to feed water to the gpu from your cpu cooler. You should have enough tubing included in the kit to add the GPU to the cooling loop (pump-radiator-cpu-gpu-reservoir-pump).

As for the distilled water you can get that at your local grocery store.
