First off, I would start reading this forum very dilgently.
Then, decide if you want home built or pre-made.
From there, read, ask, learn about the choice you made - best kits, best block, etc....
Then, save up money if needed.
Then, buy everything.

Search is very important. Normally you can find the answer to any questions by searching quicker than you can asking.
Very simply, everything's been done, and everything's been asked for all intencive purposes.
My PM's in the sig, computer's always on... Depending on the time and day, I'll normally be within 100 feet of it anyways... And when I'm not... The phone's on AIM...
This place is a wealth of information, and the amount of very qualified and technical people are astounding.
Take advantage of it and read.

That's the most powerful tool we have... If you don't ever read anything; like so many other things in life, you won't do well here.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!!
Water cooling is not as difficult as it is sometimes made out to be but it is still a subject that is far too large to be completely explained in on post (or one thread that people will actually read)
Your best bet is to read, as others have said- the best place too start reading is the Cooling Stickies and in the Water Cooling section.
Once you have read through a bit.....you will have a decent knowledge of at LEAST basic H2O cooling and we can answer more specific questions to clear up anything you do not understand.

You may want to decide which is more important to you. While water cooling can be used to accomplish either, it's not magic... you're going to have to trade off one versus the other.

Lots of good info in the watercooling section of the main site and in the Cooling Stickies of this BBS.
A few hours scanning down the forum, reading the threads marked newbie(or similiar) or kit or the name of a kit (koolance, exos, innovatek, swiftec, etc), or what's good would get you a lot of info.
General consensus is that you can save money and/or improve performance by putting together your own kit. The hardest part of doing it yourself seems to be mounting the radiator (heater core)/fan.
Some links:
My favorite list is Giblet's list for n00b h20.
