Hey guys, I'm looking into watering cooling my gaming setup, but want some advise on where to buy the parts or whole set (I'm from the uk) and what parts or set I should buy? My set up is;

Case- coolermaster cm690 ii advanced black and white
Motherboard- asus sabertooth z77
GPU- Asus GTX 670
CPU- i5 3570k

Ideally I would like to cool the whole lot and have an interal radiator unless I need a bigger rad than I can fit in my case then I might consider externally mounting it?? Please could someone tell me the best watercooling kit for my build with a budget of £200 I am willing to go a bit higher if its really worth it but as low as possible would be nice 😛 haha thanks in advance guys!!
 


I like to look for my parts on pcpartpicker.com. They show some part specs, and then list you to places where they sell the part. Since you live in UK, just click on each store until you find a store who ships to UK.

If I had to go with water cooling, I would either go with a Corsair H100 or Corsair H100i. Whichever one fits your case, then go with that one.
 


Thanks for the reply but the corsair h series are not water cooling kits they are closed loop cpu coolers, besides all the problems with the h100 and the h100i I don't think I'd want one, would be better to spend more on a real watercooling set
 
Water cooling is a quaint, and neat hobby, but isn't worth it, and overall waste of money.

For the general PC consumer a good heatsink or closed loop are all you need unless your doing really heavy overclock, or like to tinker.

You gotta spend a lot to see any real benefits. :/

Edit: H100/H100i are not as bad as they are made out to be. You'd probably wanna try a Swiftech H220.
