Start with liquid CPU coolers, thats the most basic. Mine's an Antec Khuler 920. Check it out, it keeps my overclocked i5-2500k cool 24/7 :)

Much better choice is buy rad,pump ,cpu block res and tub+ fittings.. Or something like this depending what size rad you can fit in your case. This means you can buy pump if it fails or any other part you want to add your system, Video card water block or anything,,

There are so many FAQs on this topic, I´d just read into all of them honestly.
After that you can check out some youtube vids of build logs and see what crazy stuff some of those people are doing.

For getting started with "real" water cooling, imo there are 3 possible starting points:
1) Get a starter kit like AxlFone linked.
2) Go really custom and choose everyhting your self.
3) Start really really small with something like an expandable AiO unit like the Swiftech H220/H320 or CM Glacier 240. Just install it and let it run. Then when you are in the mood for some tweaking and tuning, start small again. Drain the unit and exchange the tubes or something like. The next time add a res, another rad or a GPU block or so. And so one.
