Ok so i need to water cool my build if i want to over clock it, and i do. I have already watched LinusTechTips and NCIX but they always cut the actual putting it together part, wich is the part i need to understand. here is my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2XwFT . I already had a thread about if i need to water cool it and most if not everyone said i did. I want to know what i need, where i can get it preferably for a cheap price and i want compression threads if u wanna know, i just dont know where i can get everything id need. Please and thanks to everyone who answer's!

(if you dont bother answering back plz dont answer at all thx!) (dont mean to be a dick when i say that though Thanks guys!)

Have you read through the watercooling sticky? It covers a large majority of questions a newcomer might have. It is linked below in my signature.

Please note- there isn't really a tutorial that is going to work for 'everyone' as each loop is different to some degree, although once you understand what all components are and how they interoperate, it becomes pretty straight forward on how to setup your loop.

If you are going with the cooler you listed there, there is nothing to do. It's a closed loop system. You dont' put it together, you don't fill it. It comes pre-filled and sealed. You hooked it up according to the instructions.

If you want a full water cooling system that you put together, etc, then be prepared to spend at least $250 to get started, $400-$500 if you want a good one. Those ones you have to worry about filling it up, checking for leaks, topping off the the liquid, cleaning the tubes, etc.

No problem. It's one of the greatest unknowns when it comes to watercooling...where to actually start. Once you start going through and answering some questions, you can really start to figure out where you want to go and how your loop should work.
