Thats the best sticky and all the links within it is where you start. If it takes a few weeks, or a few days is up to you. You shouldn't just get an answer 'buy this stuff'. You need to know why and understand the basics.

It's in there. I can't say buy this n that when I have no idea what your looking for, meaning cost, noise tolerence, overcolcking needs. If you don't understand the basics of what to do once it's at your door, I'd be bummed if you fried your Mobo and GPU because you didn't know. Took me 3 months to buy my first WC part, and it went fine.

Putting water in your PC is NOT a 'Best Buy experiance'.

ok so whats the differance between a seperate reservoir and a reservoir top for the pump

Nothing except the res is part of the pump. I like it myself, one less part to mount. If you read the actual review of the XSPC restop for the DDC3.2 on Martins web page (hosted by Skinnee) you'll see the design of the pump top improves flow rate and head pressure.

There is a nice res for the MCP355 too.
