This is a good kit to get started with http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-265-XS&groupid=962&catid=1532 add some hose and fluid and your good to go.

As said I have a parvum sustem 1.0 so I wouldn't have space for that res/pump.Thanks anyway.

BriT · 20 Jan 2014 at 23:31

Tokin · 20 Jan 2014 at 23:32

£150 is a tight budget really.

You would be best off going for secondhand parts imo

these are some options at least, taking into account your case.

Drop to a 2.2 pump combo if you don't plan on expanding. Best rad for the money. Best compressions for the money. One of the best blocks too.

To compare performance wise, this is like the High end AX XSPC kit worth £235 in terms of temperatures. The blocks are pretty much the same, the radiators are the same (probably same OEM), the pump is lower flow to the D5 but has higher head. Either will work just as well even if you added two more blocks and a rad or two.
