Watercooling various bits & various questions

Evening all,

I've got a BitFenix Shinobi with an i5 cooled by a Corsair H50 and 2xGTX460s running in SLI.

I tried to play Saint's Row The Third today and the thing just crapped out. I've given it a good clean, but the computer is just chugging away.

Now, I'd like to watercool the Shinobi but I really don't want to mod it and the case is pretty full as it is.

So, what I'd like from you clever chaps, if you wouldn't mind, is a recommendation on watercooling for this setup for about £250. I would like this to include a new case, and cooling for the GPUs is required, though not for the CPU as I'm happy to use the H50, unless I can cool all three components for the price.

Thanks in advance all and please let me know if you have any question.

Cannot be done if you're looking for brand new, and even 2nd hand, you might manage it, but you'll have devils own job finding blocks for the GTX460's tbh

side note, Why would saints row 3 crap out? I've managed playing that on an AMD Phenom II 955 BE with a single 5850 without problems.

Hmm I found a couple of blocks last night for the 460s, one on OcUK and one elsewhere.

It crapped out because I had it on max settings I think.

Any recommendations on cases?

You should be alright with a simple ATX case tbh, running everything on a single 360 radiator. Unless you want to get creative with a fractal R3 (quite a few of those in the members market) and a few 120 radiators.

Well I'm thinking of getting a nice, comfortably sized case. I've had enough of fumbling around in my Shinobi. I'll look into the R3 though, cheers.
