Right, I'm still thinking about watercooling. My priorities will be quiet then cool as I've only got a modest overclock. Hoping to cool a 2500k and a 6950.

Firstly will a 360 be sufficient?

Then i have two cooling options:

a) SR1 mounted internally cooled with the coolermaster 200mm roof fans in the haf-x (pull). I possibly could get some 20mm thick fans on the bottom of the rad as there is just enough space.

b) GT stealth mounted under the plastic top cover cooled with fans in the roof of the case of any thickness.


Which will be cooler and quieter?
 
A 360 will be fine for those components.

A), especially if you want it to be quiet. You need noisy high speed fans to get decent performance from a thin high fpi rad.
