Hi everyone, this is my system:

geforce 8800gtx 2000 mhz
qx6700
asus p5n32 680i
2gb ram dual channel corsair 800 mhz
hd sata 400gb 7200 rpm

Ill use this computer just for gaming and i plan to do a bit of overclocking on it, so im thinking of getting a water cooler...The problem is that im a total noob at water cooling and have no idea how to build one myself or how it works.

Im looking for a water cooling kit, which one you guys think would be nice for me?

Thanks to everyone that can help me
 
First off, we need to know a couple quick things:

What components do you want cooled? (CPU, GPU, NB)
What's your price range?
Are you willing to put together a system from random parts, or do you want a prebuilt kit.

Some other useful info might be:
What case are you going to put this in, and are you will to modify your case to mount water cooling gear?

I'm personally a fan of building my own kit using hand picked components, but I started off with a kit from Petra's tech shop and can highly recommend them for quality and customer service Petra's Tech Shop

For pre-built......overall best balance of performance, price, and easy of installation:

Swiftech Apex Ultra.

Ultra Plus if you want GPU block too.
