Its going into an antec 300 case, will be cooling the CPU and possibly 2 gfx cards.

budget is around the £150 mark maybe a little higher

Or if anyone can spec me a full kit for less than that id appreciate it :)
 
inside it?

forget it, I measured it and you can forget it unless you're only doing the CPU.

for £150 you can maybe do the CPU with a single 140 rad and fan.

if you want the CPU and two GPU's cooled you'll be paying at least £325 and it'll be external

trust me, I just specced one out for my antec 300 with only one GPU and a cheapo 420 rad
 
Look at Project Mdnight Blue in Case Central, James is watercooling in a 300, not quite finished it yet but may give you some ideas.

You'd need a good size rad though and space inside will be a problem, will have to look at external mounting the rads, also have to consider 2 loops.
 
the case is fine, it'll just look a tad ugly once you have the radiator installed, ideally on top

two loops would be a good idea although a Laing D5 with maybe a 120 rad on the side panel in between the GPU's might work ok, and you will be cutting the case up

Click to expand...

gfx card blocks that fit gfx cards which will go in the 300 are all about the same price +/- £15 and you're going to get the best cpu block/rad possible no matter what cpu you have
 
Sorry, but if you're thinking about adding a pair of current gpus then you must consider it now. cpu only can be done on a simple pump and 120.2 rad. add a pair of gpu full-coverblocks on hot gpus and you'll need a better pump and a much bigger rad with maybe different fans.

Also, we need to know what sort of budget you have.
 
A complete watercooling solution for current gen hardware, especially with a CPU and 2 GPUs for 150 quid is impossible without serious compromise, clever DIY and second hand parts. The waterblocks alone would likely cost more than that !

Realistically, you're looking at spending at least 300 mate.

Hey, on Friday I'll get back to you with how my WC setup is going, just got the parts today, just need to get some distilled water.

also you will probably be scared at how big most of the stuff actually is
