I'm thinking of getting a water cooling system for my latest build, but I need a lil help and advise before I head out to get one.

I was thinking of getting a Swiftech H20-120 kit, with a pair of Swiftech or Alphacool vga coolers, but I dont know how well that'd work. Also, is it better to cool the graphics in series or parallel? (ie, do I need a y-splitter?)

Thanks
 
The Swiftech stuff will do well and should contain all you need for the cpu. be careful with the vga coolers, make sure they're the same tube size, that they come with all you need including extra tubing and clamps. Make sure you get a big enough radiator for the wattage being cooled - better a big radiator and quiet fans than an undersized rad needing a Delta!

Series will be mch easier to plumb, less restrictive and will make very little difference between the two gpus. Trying to run parallel usually involves restrictive loops and depleted flow-rates.
