Hey guys i'm interested in custom water cooling, but the problem is, i know nothing about it. Can you guys help suggest what parts i should get and so on...

Also i have not built this build yet so i am open to options.

I have an fx 8320+ hyper 212 evo . don't expect more than 4.4 safe GHz. And my motherboard is the m5a99fx (I got 4.2 with bad temps on my older 970 m5a97).

Lately I have been considering a 280mm rad liquid loop for the CPU alone. I want 4.5 GHz 24/7 and the hyper can't do it and I've upgraded the fan on it too

If you have never built a loop perhaps a good way to go is to start off with an expandable kit, it simplifies things a lot and saves a bit of money also. Swiftech is about to release their H220x, it's a very nice expandable AIO with some good hardware in it at a good price, think they are selling the 120.2 kit for around $150.
