I have a H50 and want to go full on water cooling but I dont know what would be adequate for my system and what would give leg room for OCing (if were to do it that is)

I have Phenom 1090t BE, ASUS M5A78-L USB3 mobo and a radeon 6850, I am not a gamer, I just do a LOT of multitasking at the same time. My case has space for a 240 rad and it may be possible to fit in an extra 120 rad on the exhaust but i cant yet tell if the 240 rad which fits on top will cover the exhaust slot when taking into account fans

since, i dont have much money, i would like to just cool the cpu but if i can stretch the budget it would be nice to cool the gpu as well but i dont think the powercolor 6850s are reference models as they come overclocked by about 15% and there was something about standard blocks not being compatible in the manual

so what parts should i be looking at?
 
As you are not a gamer, and are only going to be cooling your CPU, depending on your budget I would go with either:

or if you have a higher budget:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-041-OE&groupid=2180&catid=2184&subcat=

Has everything you need to sufficiently cool your gear. A 240 Radiator is definitely enough to sufficiently cool your CPU. I know some people who cool both their CPU and GPU on a 240, so you could always just add the GPU block later on down the line if you felt the need to.

If however you DO decide to do both CPU and GPU, you'll need more than the 120 for sure.

Hope this helps :)
 
Must have misread it or something, but anyway an extra fan shouldnt be a problem, i can just order another one, or use two other spare fans (currently have two tricools, two vipers, generic coolermaster 240mm fan, couple of generic exhaust fans and some OEM 80mm fans which noisy as hell
