Is there a good article for watercooling for beginners?

Never watercooled before but keen to go for it, or at least research it for my next build. Could someone maybe link me to all the individual parts that would constitute a water cooling set up that justifies the expense? ie, no point in going to water cooling unless I do it properly - so please don't cut corners with budget, but don't make the system overly complicated please - like I said - no watercooling experience under my belt at all. Thanks.

You can get watercooling kits, but ive seen the lads on here slate them several times so I don't know whether it's worth going down that route. for a beginner though, they might be a good place to start.

if it was me though, i would practice on an old pc first. wouldnt go bull at the gate and put w/c in my main rig.

Thanks for all the replies - this guide looks REALLY good, but I'm at work at the moment and thus don't have time to do the reading, but thanks a million. Will post again when I've read what has been linked to this thread!

Was advised of this when I started, the 1st and best I have read.
