New Watercooling setup

[GeForce321]

I am very new to Water cooling but have read every sticky on it so far so I have gotten the idea of what is done. Now I would like to get down to business and get a setup going. I am looking for a very good setup that will last me years to come because of what I have read it is better to buy big now then keep upgrading. So I have pretty much no idea where to start. I would like a resvoir to start. I don't know about a T line I would like to have whichever is less maintenance and overall better. So I need the whole lot. The pump, resvoir/ TLine, Radiator, CPU Waterblock, and I don't know if I need it but a GPU Waterblock. I don't really know how much compatibility a Waterblock would have but I would like it to be able to fit most chips including the Intel core 2 duo and mabey my current 939 AMD. If it helps my current specs are as follows:

Biostar Tforce6100 939
AMD Athlon64 Venice
Western Digital 80gb HDD sata II
GeForce BFG 7300GSOC
Corsair XMS DDR400 1gb (2x512)
Turbolink ATX 2.03v 500w
LITE-ON CD/DVD Burner 52x

I am looking for products here what you guys use and think are the best but not way to expensive.

a good start for what you have now would be something like this. This is a kit made up from Petra's. which is one of the better shops to order from. Thye take some of the best indivigual WC components, and create kits.

My suggestion would be, go to the top of the forum and read the stickey on WC basics, and consider something like this which is very reasonable.

• (1) Swiftech Apogee GT Universal CPU Waterblock (w/Socket 478/423/603/604/462/754/939/940/AM2/LGA 775 compatible USMA)
• (1) Laing D5/MCP655 12V DC Pump
• (1) Swiftech MCR220-QP Dual 120mm Radiator (w/fittings)
• (2) Yate Loon D12SL-12, D12SM-12, or D12SH-12 120mm x 25mm Fans
• (10') 7/16" ID (5/8" OD) Masterkleer Tubing

this would be a great start and quality gear. go to this link and you can check out some other kits. Believe me, I wish I would have found this shop and kits when I first started out, I would have been much beter off.
