Some thing along the lines of:

1 radiator, maybe 2 depending on size/case (I would guess one 480 might be enough)
1 pump
1 gpu water block per graphics card
1 cpu water block
1 reservoir
Fittings (preferably shiny) 2 per item required (must be suitable size to fit tubing)
Tubing - around 2-3metres ish - must be a suitable size to fit fittings!
120mm Fans - at least 4 based on needing 1 480 rad
Distilled / deionised water - add silver kill coil as required

So now you all need to do is some research and reading.....

my budget is negotiable but if about £300-400 would do it that'd be ideal. :confused:

Lots of research and reading.
It can prove quite a challenge sometimes. Make sure you also get compression fittings rather than barb fittings (read up on the difference).
They are much easier for beginners or anyone watercooling really, they reduce the chance of leaks quite a lot. I also recommend reading up on the desired thickness of tubing, they all have different effects depending on the flow rate you are looking for.

How about the XSPC Rasa 750 RX240 Watercooling Kit? Can be had for £170. I have one and its great, plus i added my graphics too the loop. Getting 33c idle and 45c max for the 580 which is overclocked to 925mhz. CPU wise, depends on room temp but generally 34c-39c idle and 59c full load.
