Hey.
The next step I'm taking with my rig is upgrading from my Corsair H50 to a custom watercooling loop.
What I'm aiming for: CPU block (Socket 775), GPU block (HD4870, trying to replace its awful fan), and maybe a block to cool the northbridge (P45 Neo-F, it gets quite hot at 473 fsb).
I'm new to watercooling, and wondering about the price range.
How much do you think I should expect to pay for a water loop with similar performance to the H50 (my cpu is overclocked by 42%), including cooling for the GPU and NB?
I'm hoping to finally get my system silent as well, so it would help if the pump isn't too offending. If it helps, I also have a Noctua NF-S12B FLX attached to my H50's radiator. Furthermore I'm looking for something that won't die on me / be unsafe, since if my current system dies I'm screwed. Corsair has a nice warranty on their H50 that lets me get my system repaid if it leaks.
Also, if it would be cheaper, is there a way to get a *separate* pump/block/radiator similar to the H50, for my GPU? That way I don't have the hassle of building it.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

D) as they're quiet and push huge quantities of water, and some sort of reservoir (no need for a radiator) with >20l water in (for example, a jerry can), and the connecting pipes. The volume of water is so large that it never warms up more than a couple of degrees [...]
