I want to move to a silent watercooling option.

What would you recommend, I currently have H60 with an apache fan, and 1x 140mm blowing in at the front of my 750d. Budget approximately £200 will want my 280x including within the loop.
 
For watercooling, you could make up a custom loop for £200 for a CPU, however to integrate your GPU into the loop 200 wouldn't cut it, If you want to watercool the whole system then save your pennies and wait a while or start your loop with just the CPU and then expand it later.
 
yup I agree, you are a bit too tight on budget to do both. You could get a kit for around the £200 and then expand it later to include the GPU but I would wait until the bank balance allows the whole lot. its just less hassle and you wont have to drain your loop, replumb and refill ut etc.
 
I would budget 350 as minimum. then you can add more if you want big res's or lighting and flashy blling bling fittings etc.

you will need to get 360mm worth of rad ideally so keep that in the budget as well.

IMHO it the little things that start to add up like fittings, mountings, ties, grills etc so plan twice and buy once!
 
it really depends on you confidence and experience.

you get a lot for your money in some kits (I like the XSPC ones) and then you can add to it. however you need to measure up your case and decide what layout you are going to have and what pump type and res you want/can have.

I would go D5 as they are super quiet but its a choice thats yours. look at what you need and see if there is a kit that can do 90+% of it so you only have to add the 10% ie the GPU block

also the fittings and tuning in the kits may not be what you'd like to see in your case so again you may have to plan that our and buy the bits you want.
