Could something be built to perform better with custom components?

How good is this water cooling kit?

Thats about the best "kit" you can buy. Really, its not a kit. Thats about exactly what I bought in parts for my first setup. D5 (655) pump, Microres (swiftech), MCR-220, GTZ block (XT is newer, better).
You can build better, but only with higher quality components/larger radiator. That kit will cool an i7 pretty well for nice overclocks. I had my i7 the above specs and ran 4.2ghz daily.

Personally I like a bigger rad, but that kit isn't bad at all. Swiftech makes about the only kits I would seriously look at.

I have a CM690 case...
I currently have a Q6600, but want upgradeability in the future if I move into the new AMD X6's. Don't mind too much about noise...but that's a small feature as I can pick and adjust fans pretty easy. Internal if possible, but I am okay mounting the radiator on the rear I guess?
I've never done water cooling, so would this be a good "noob" kit with enough reading?

I would have to say with current 220 rad, it would be a tad better by a few degrees with less noise. However, get a 320 rad and yes, it will beat the TRUE.

Does the Apogee XT support LGA 775...I see on newegg it only shows the i3/5/7 sockets
Is the MCP655 pump good enough or are there better ones?

Mcp655 is one of the strongest pump over there. MCP355 is a strong pump. U will have more than enough with the D5 (mcp655).

As for the XT, I also only see mounting for 1156/1366 as well. You might want to contact Swiftech to see if they offer the 775 mounting kit for the XT.
