Frozencpu vs koollance

Solution
Yeah, my signature has a lot of links to watercooling info...it really depends on where you want to start and what you have figured out so far. Just PM us if you have any specific questions.
FrozenCpu sells Koolance products along with other water cooling products , but thier prices are just a bit high. I have found another site that sells a tremendous amount of water cooling products for a bit less and between the two I usually get everything I need. Bitspower and Phobya make a lot of good guality products and at first Koolance was not great for quality but recently they have improved.

I understand your impatience man, but you have to remember the members here are worldwide so a response may take some time :)
firstly, 500-700 what? Dollars, pounds rupees, euros?
What are you wanting to cool? the Cpu and Gpu, just the Cpu?
You already said your case so we know the room you have, what Motherboard and chip? just intel doesn't help much, the socket type is what we need to know for the Cpu block
and as a basic answer, no one company makes the best, one manufacturer is great at pumps, one may be a gpu block heaven, but everything else they make is tat,
you need to break a list down and then start researching each component
Cpu block, I'd suggest XSPC's Raystorm right now,
any variant on a Laing D5 pump is going to be a winner (many people rebrand those and sell as their own)
you'll need a radiator or two too, to get rid of the heat created,
fans for the above, maybe a fancontroller unit as well if you want to control them (You do)
tubing, use is obvious
maybe a reservoir, not all loops have one although a majority do
fittings to connect it all together,

check the stickies in Rubix_1011's signature, those are a great place to start reading up, be patient and answers (and help) will come, but in watercooling, rushing and impatience will only lead to frustration, tears and possibly explosions :p

Yeah- we have a lot of beginner info here, so take your time, read and learn and most importantly- ask questions. However, we like when people read/learn some first and then ask questions as many beginner FAQs are covered in the sticky.

well I read the faqs page not much on how to post.

Take your time and slow down. The more you get figured out now, the better off your build will be when it's time to install. Planning is the biggest part of building a loop- a lot needs to be taken into consideration to ensure you cover all your bases.
 
Be also nice to know what you are water cooling..... for example if Sandy Bridge I'd rethink the plan.

It's almost ironic that [air] coolers like this are becoming available just as processors transition to designs that may ultimately render them unnecessary; even overclocked to 5GHz, an Intel Sandy Bridge 2600K doesn't need anywhere near this level of cooling.

With SB making the better air coolers unnecessary, I don't see a case for water cooling.

In case you want to crossfire and in my case I wanted to get rid of the ungodly air cooled radiator in the case. I water cooled and won't go back to air cooling.

Please use the edit button on your posts please!

Alright, here are the things we need to know:
1) What is your CPU? Socket 755, 1366, or 1155?
2) What is your budget? Dollars? Euros? Yen?
3) Do you plan to go for a single or double loop?
4) What are you cooling? GPU and CPU? Or just one.

And PLEASE be direct with your answers.
 
What graphics card did you get ? Water cooling is not cheap and can cost you a lot of money if not done right especially if you buy things you end up not needing. You do have to take your time and plan it out. Go to the web sites and look at what parts there are and build your loop on paper first and see what it 's going to look like and if it works. Then price it out by going to different web sites and getting the lowest prices and see what you come up with for a total price.

a 360 will do the Cpu and one card fine,
Due to the fittings size you want 1/2 Od tubing,
http://xsearch.xoxide.com/?keywords=tubing&vwcatalog=yhst-39083765508394
And a reservoir if you want one, loads to choose from including the T-Virus resses, drivebay resses and normal tubular ones,
Again, you cannot rush this, if you want W/c, you have to plan, research and take your time, or things will go wrong and you will be soured on it,
