I am new to the realms of water cooling and I am looking to cool my graphics card CPU and possibly RAM but I really dont know what I am looking for.

I have:

ATI Radeon 4850
E4300 (Socket 775)
4GB OCZ Platinum RAM (4x1GB)

I have a budget of about £100 but the cheaper the better.

You wont be able to get a WC loop that will cool a CPU and GC for £100 better then a £100 air cooling setup.

I would get a Noctua CPU cooler and Arctic Cooling Accelero for the 4850. You dont need to cool the ram unless u have really bad air flow in your case.

Yea, I spent around £150 on water cooling just for the CPU and it aint the best! For £100 your seriously gonna struggle/get rubbish leaky parts! Not ideal! Either double your budget (i.e. wait til you've saved up some more) or like timmy said, can get great air cooling for your budget

Well I have that at the moment

How about a cooler for just the graphics?

EDIT: A link to one on OCUK would be nice too

Well Im not too well off on my air cooling for graphics cards, but have seen this one by Arctic Cooling being used in several peoples PC's on here. Be better if you got sombodies opinion who has experience with it though
