Yeah it's pretty much the best pre-made kit out there you can get for the money.

I'd just go straight to putting it on your main rig though.

You are better getting the components seperately. Dont bother with the NB block as it will reduce flow rate in your loop for no benefit (get an aftermark NB fan) and then change the rad to a Thermochill as they are the best, if it can fit get a Thermochill PA120.3.

For a noob go with the kit. When you've got spares lying about - tubing, other accessories - go with a custom kit. It all adds up with a custom kit, particularly if you're sourcing different suppliers and need all the bits and bobs.

Don't waste the kit on a duron. Get it on the opty and give it some more volts
