Hello!
I am thinking about water cooling my PC. I know very little about the subject, so I want to make sure that I have selected compatible parts, and that everything makes sense!
(for future reference, I will be using w/c instead of water cooling to shorten the wording)
So, out of my computer, I really only want to w/c my CPU (FX-8120, Possibly will o/c), and my GPU/VGA (Radeon HD 6870)
I am open to cooling my Northbridge, but I feel that the heat sinks on my motherboard (Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3) are more than sufficient to take care of the heat (correct me if I'm wrong!)
I have noticed that Koolance has a wide variety of supplies and parts for liquid cooling. If this is not the best priced corporation, please let me know, b/c I want to keep price down as much as possible!
If I go with koolance, I'm thinking that I will use the CPU-370SA for my CPU, and the GPU-210 on my VGA. I know the 210 is not a full plate, and will only contact the actual GPU, not the VRM/RAM. I hope this is an ok solution, since my stock cooler only contacts the GPU as well. Also, the full cover plates seem to be out of stock and expensive!
Other than those two items (CPU-370SA and GPU-210), I'm not entirely sure what I will be needing. I'm thinking a 2x120mm Radiator will be large enough. Which, btw, yes, I DO want to integrate this into my case if possible - Azza Orion.
I am unsure about what reservoir size I will need, and which pump to get. Also, all of Koolance parts state that they have no nozzles. I know nothing about the required nozzles, so if Someone can tell me which ones and how many I need, that would be great! (I know that they should be Standard G BSP 1/4 threaded). Tubing is also an unknown variable here!
I think that's everything that needs to be in a w/c system, but if I missed anything, or any of the parts will be incompatible with each other, please let me know. If suggesting a part, please try to find one that does the job well for the lowest price. I do not have a set budget, but anything over 300$ is probably not going to work for me.
Thanks for your time!

tl;dr : There is not tl;dr. If you are too lazy to read, and will not be paying attention to details, I'm not sure if your advice will help or hinder. That will be all.
