What will you be planning to do with it?

General, web browsing etc?

Gaming?

Anything else?

Also why watercooled?

You might want to ask yourself why you're going for a watercooling setup? Is it just because you like the idea? Generally people going the WC route are either going for extreme overclocks or trying to make their system as quiet as possible. However usually the loudest part of the system will be the graphics card, which isn't really an issue if you're not gaming too much. Watercooling is also a lot of maintenance, having to clean out the system every so often, dismantle it so you can clean all the dust off the rads...

Even if you skip on the GPU waterblock you're probably still looking at £200+ just for cooling the CPU + NB, that somewhat limits your budget for the rest of the system (especially if you also need an operating system included).

Not quite completely what you wanted, but basically watercooled.... Some items are on pre-order, no watercooling on the GPU, bAlso have an all in one CPU WCing, but it has good ratings. Air cooling could probably be better, but presume it's a quietness thing or something that you want it for...

Also presumed you needed a OS as you didn't state you didn't...

Just out of interest have you looked into water cooling maintenance? You tend to have to flush the rad and redo the loop on a 6 month - 1 year basis

It might actually be an idea I guess for you to get in touch with OCUK and ask them about it as they can do pre-built systems with water cooling all installed (for a fee of course)

Depends how confident you are in your own ability to build a WC pc...

If you are not using it for anything very taxing, not even much gaming, then you really don't need to watercool or to spend anything like £1000.

I would recommend a quad Phenom or an i3 build. Include an SSD to keep it really snappy and just air cool it.

But then I am the last person that can lecture about buying components that you don't strictly need! If you want to spend the money / have the time for watercooled setup then why not go for it. Should be fun.
