I currently have the following build:
Intel i7 3960x
Corsair H100 CPU
Corsair 16 GB (4x4 DDR3) RAM
OCZ Vertex 3
Corsair 650D
2 x NVIDIA GTX 590
Corsair 1200 watt power supply

I need a water cooling kit for the graphics card and computer in general, except I already have the Corsair H100 cooling for the CPU, so I need to know which parts I need for the best liquid cooling and I prefer they look good too. Thank you!

This will give you an idea of what parts that you need , naturally there are a lot to choose from and you can get less expensive parts and more expensive ones as well , but that site has a lot of options and different parts to choose from. It does take a bit of planning to map out your loop and if you want to include the ram or not. Since you have a cpu cooler you may want to stick with that or you can get a cpu block and include it in your loop. You also want to plan where you will be putting the radiator and the resivoir plus make sure you have a quick disconnect and a fill port and a way to drain.
There are stickey posts in the forum for water cooling tips and for a first time install you do want to get as much info as you can.
If you need any help you can always send me a private message , I have been water cooling my computers for a number of years now and have a lot of experience.
