Water cooling help

[nubbs1]

I am wanting to build a new computer. This is what I had in mind.
ASUS Crosshair-MB
EVGA 8800GTS-Video Card
AMDX2 6000+- Processor
4GB Crucial 800DDR ram
Thermaltake 750W Tough Power-PSU
320MB HHD
My question is should I get a Thermaltake Kandalf LCS case for $279.00 or a cheaper case and an after market water cooling system? The other case im looking at is about $60.00 and if I can get the case and after market water cooling system for the same price then I will probably go that rout but I have never had a water cooling system before. So I do not know the best way to go. If i get an after market what should I get?

$279-60=$219 to spend on water cooling.

Prob NOT a great idea dude. A good water system can cost a LOT. Ive spent ~400 from dangerden ALONE :/
All those prebuilt water systems dont work well either, so dont bother.

The fact u have an AMD chip too... well u cant REALLY OC it that much, so water is largely useless, and the gts, is quiet already, u can OC that stock quite well.

Leave water alone IMHO.
Get a Thermalright 120 extreme/ultra if you want, maybe something for the gfx too.

Honestly im not sure I even want water cooling. I just want a quiet computer that looks cool and fast. Not wanting to upgrade for a while after build. I heard that the setup that I am looking into will run really hot so I want to keep it cool any suggestions?

CPU: Thermalright 120 extreme/ultra + Scythe 120mm fan
GPU: Thermalright Wotevathefuuk with same fan (may need an 80-120 adapter)

Also, make sure u have at least 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan.
A case with seperate compartment for psu (like p180) will also help.

Those Scythe fans are a little expensive, but are AWESOME.
Also can get a fan controller, so u can crank things up or down as u need.
