At the moment I'm trying to keep the price as low a possible and will slowly upgrade the system as funds permit. Would I be better building it myself or getting a like this one

I know i'll probably need some more hose and some clips, (OC don't sell them as far as I can see), but can you have a look through and see if i've got all the right parts or any siggestions for different ones. I'm running an 939 CPU.

Thanks

Thats pretty much the apex ultra kit on the website mate. You should just get that. That way you know your getting everythin you need. With the warranty on all of it as a whole rather than seperately

To be honest, like Postal Dude I would go for the Apex Ultra kit, I believe they are being supplied now with the Apogee GT block and they also have a resevoir (not necesary though), fans and a rad box (for external mounting) supplied which you have not listed. When you add the extra bits on I think the kit will come out at about the same price.
The other factor is that some of the items you have listed are out of stock at ocuk so you may need to source bits from other suppliers which means postage costs go up.

ok, cheers for your replies, i've been looking and you right I might as well just get the apex ultra kit. Cool, hopefully will drop the temp down and can push the cpu a bit further!

I have the apex ultra kit with the standard apogee block. If its true that the new revisions come with the GT version. Then i can assure you, you will not be disappointed
