So I read the sticky but I still don't quite understand how to calculate my TDP and how that transfers over into what radiators I need etc.
I am typically very paranoid about compatibility so I am very hesitant to do things that I can't find much information on, so I thought I would ask you guys for help.
I'm going to include my build below, and I was wondering if one of you guys would be kind enough to put together a custom watercooling configuration for me, preferably within the $200-$300 budget range. I know you guys are going to say I should be able to do this myself, but I am stressing out over what to do because of my paranoia, and if you guys put something together for me it would make me feel a lot better about this venture into watercooling

CPU is overclocked to 4.5Ghz, and the loop would also cool both video cards which are GTX 680 Classified with OCs.
My RAM is overclocked to 1866 9-9-9-24, not sure if that would need cooling?
Once again thank you to anyone who takes the time to suggest something, and I would prefer green colored tubes as my case has a green theme
