Watercooling pros...670?

[Scorpionking20]

I have an upcoming $1k to spend on upgrades, and am considering going with my first water cooling loop! I'm hoping some of you guys can give me ideas to work with my current parts and upcoming budget.

First off, here's the stuff I have:

Silverstone FT02-bw case

i5-2500k with Cooler Master V8 cooler

8 Gbs low profile DDR3 1600 ram

ASRock Extreme 4 mb (z68)

Silverstone 1200w psu, Bronze

Bluray, 128Gb SSD, 2Tb hdd

So now that you know my stuff (notice there is no gpu...I sold my 7970 recently because I want to go team green...I've enjoyed their drivers and features more over the years) give me some advice on what I can do for a full wc loop. I need at least a 670, so that give's me around $600 for the loop and possibly a new case, as the FT02 isn't the best for a watercooled setup.

A 670 FTW with an aftermarket waterblock would run under $550, leaving $450 for a loop and possible case.

I'm considering an XSPC 360 kit with a decent case, and then the extra tubing wouldn't be a big deal. Ok...let the suggestions fly! And thanks SO MUCH for all of you guys that have great ideas with what I could do with these funds!

The 670 runs cool and quiet as it is. Without a way to increase voltage on the 670 liquid cooling is completely unnecessary.
