I would like to get into water cooling but don't know very much.

I only want to cool my CPU (i7 960) only but do want to have room for future graphics card watercooling.

I would like to have a 360 Rad and I very much appreciate any help that you might give. :)

V12 kit is a good place to start
 
What is your budget? What case do you have?

My budget is very loose really. I dont want to go above ~£350.

I have a Coolermaster HAF 932 case.

When I say that i don't know very much It usually means I don't have much (if any) practical experience.
I've spent hours on reasearch but would just like the help of the forum. :)

Been looking at it but I heard that the G-Changer has lower temps than the RX360 when running at higher fan speed.

Also the G-changer is Cheaper :D

Oh really? What sort of speeds? I bought a cheapish 360 and two good 120's (wasnt going to change case to start with..) but im thinking of squeezing in another 360.. Will look out for that.

Ok I can't find this any more and i think It may have been speculation.

It's still cheaper though:D

Right time to get the old Ruler out. :)

From the top of the case to the Mobo is 12cm [~4 3/4"] so there is plenty of room for a thicker rad and fans, right

If the HAF 932 is anything like the X, then a thinner rad will be better space wise aS EVEN WITH A THIN RAD AND FANS, THERE WASN'T THAT MUCH SPACE WITH MY haf x BUILD.

oops, caps lock :/s
