Watercooling, overkill?

Hi there ive got a silver armour case and i am swapping it for a black one.

Thing is i know thermaltake LCS aint the best, but its an extra £40 which i think is a bargain

My system isnt used for gaming, just surfing the web and playing music etc etc.

Its Dual core 2 duo 2.4 with 2 gig of ram and £50 generic non o/c gpu...

Is this gonna be overkill for it? Should i leave well alone?

I wouldn't even think about water cooling unless your pushing your system well beyond stock...

Stick with what you know, w/c will just add un-needed complication.

Hiya thanks for the reply.

I have been reading the watercooling guide and its a lot more than just wacking some fluid in a pipe and gluing it down lol

Im not skilled in the pc dept. In otherwords i know how to unplug stuff and plug it back in and thats it. I think i will watercool one day as its always been a dream to have a proper modded pc

But whats the point if you're not doing anything that requires it?

o.O

You can get pretty decent setups with fans too ya know!

Exactly thats why i asked if its overkill or not.

I will have watercooling one day but this will be on a modded pc Ie overclocked

Overkill. Get a decent silent cooler.

as above

No way you need watercooling to do what you want right now.
