I'm going to do my yearly upgrade soon, and i'm thinking about using a water cooling system for the first time. I'm planning to get a new case aswell, i want to know what would be the best all in one kit for water cooling, i could buy. I'm not planning on doing any serious overclocking of my system, i just want a PC that’s fairly quiet and doesn’t kick out too much heat in my room . I’m going to pick a case to go with the following rig, depending on whether I need one with extra space for water cooling stuff. I'm considering getting the following rig.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
x2 (4GB) Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX
Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLi nForce 650
BFG GeForce 8800 GTS OC 640MB or ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT (not sure which yet)
x1 Western Digital Raptor 150GB WD1500ADFD & x1 200GB Western Digital Caviar
I've heard the 2900 XT gets pretty hot. If i get one would it be worth buying the heat pipe version or just a standard cooled model, and hooking it up to a water cooling system? My price range is between £100 -£200 depending on what I get for my money.
Thanx guys
