Basic Water Cooling...

Yes I will be buying a kit, I can't afford to be spending loads on seperate parts and it needs to be quite small

Obviously avoid thermaltake but the Alphacool Cool Answer II seems to be fairly good.
I will be using it in a small case with limited space for heatsinks (hence the water cooling) and they will only be cooling the cpu, a 6300 @ 2.87 for now.

If there any other, better kits for around £50-70 please let me know.

I use the XSPC X20 kit. It can be had for £70 quid and does the job. I cool my cpu, chipset and 7800gt with it (chipset and gpu blocks are extra) and CoreTemp never goes over 53c with both my e6600 cores Folding @3.6Ghz. It's silent too.

Funny you should say that, I just put a bid in for one

Could you give me the measurements for the rad as it seems to be a little longer than most 120mm rads (has a barb on each end), if you don't mind of course.

It's about 180mm x 140mm x 75mm with the fan attached. I have mine attached to the outside of my case, and the 80mm to 120mm brackets add about another 45mm to the 75mm.
