I want to overclock my video card so I need to choose with way i am going to cool it.

Add a waterblock
Running Bigwater SE w/ HDD block (i dont want to hear it)

or

Get the Arctic Cooling Acceler X1

I like the Waterblock option because its quiet

but from waht i read the X1 isnt very loud and cools very well.

Crap water cooling kits still dont beat the best air cooling setups

If you go for water get quality......

Just like..... you have built your pc out of indivudal hand selected parts MB. RAM GPU etc etc because you know this is what you need and whats good and whats crap.

Water cooling is the same.... Pump, WB, RAD, RES selected on indivudal basis, just like you have selected your MB, GPU, RAM on an indivudal basis.
