Hello guys

I am (when i have money

) going to be installing watercooling in my machine I would preferably like to keep it under £150.
I would like white tubing, triple rad and a cpu only loop which is capaple of adding a gpu waterblock to the loop without changing the pump (unless you can find a waterblock for my gtx 480 which will fit in my budget lol)
but that is all i want, ad i was hoping you guys could spec me a rig

You'll be hard pressed to get a full 360 kit for under £150.

If you are cooling a CPU only a 240 setup will be fine, such as the EK kit:

Watercooling is all modular anyway, so you can always add stuff later on as you need to. You'll definitely need a higher budget than £150 to cool a CPU + GPU loop.. especially if the GPU is a 480.

Ah well worth a try

what about this?

that's a decent starting kit. But you'll need to get a better pump and a better radiator if you want to add your GPU later.

In my opinion, if you are definitely looking to add a GPU later on down the line, I would suggest saving up a bit more cash and getting really good quality foundation parts, such as a good Pump (MCP355 or 655) and a high performing radiator such as an XSPC RX radiator.

Those parts will serve you well regardless of what you build around them.

£300 Tops and you can get a good WC setup.
