Getting back to WCing

[Boiller]

Hi guys, I'm in need of some counseling on what/when to buy to get back to WCing.

Here's the story: I have 1 machine WC'd, since 2004 (my old Athlon64 3000+ Venice), with a low-flow setup (at the time, it was nearly impossible to get high-flow material in Portugal). That setup consists of:

An Alphacool 600 pump: 600lph, 1.3m head.
Two Alphacool rads (1x120 1x240) Nexxxos Extreme.
3x WBs (CPU GPU NB).

My problem is this: Should I re-use these rads/pump, for a HF system? Money is currently tight to invest in a full WC setup in one go, so I'd probably have to do it by parts, as in, buying CPU & GPU block now, re-use pump/rads and save for a new pump and rads for later.

This would be to cool an i5-760 (currently no oc, stock cooler :censored:) and a GTX470, also stock.

TL;DR: I want opinions if I should (performance wise) re-use pump and rads, or just save big chunk of money and buy a new WC system alltogether.

Thanks :up:

I'd go with an apogee xt rev 2 and a hybrid swiftech GPU sink/block... See how it performs and look at the rads sometime later. The hybrid GPU block/sink is high flow, so is the xt rev 2.

What case are you going to use?

A CM690 II. I'll place a 240 rad on the bottom, the 120 on the back, and in the future, a Swiftech MCR220 on the top once I start upgrading rads.
