I plan on getting this kit for watercooling an AMD FX 8350 OC'ed out. Hopefully this works out great.

I know to use distilled water for the water in the system and it comes with Dead Water for free. Is this all I need for fluid? Can I just get any distilled water?

Anyone have experience with the watercooling system that is not the all in one system? Other option I was going to go with was Air Cooler top of the line.
 
Solution
In terms of liquid, Distilled water and a Biocide or Kill-Coil is all you need.
Whatever Distilled water is available at your local supermarket (cleaning aisle probably) is sufficient, theres no need to buy "premium" Distilled water. Demineralized is also good to use.

I suggest you replace the tubing that comes with the XSPC kits. Its quite stiff and not that great to use. By replacing it you can also get the colour you want as well.

I didnt do the color water crap. I did color tubes which I think is easier to keep up with and never changes. I also wanted to stick with the storm trooper theme. What do you think for $161 including shipping? I have the Storm Scout II White for case.

Here is what I got (bought only 4 ft of tube for $10 instead of 6ft for $15):
