Go visit the ProCooling forums (http://forums.procooling.com/). The site itself has good articles with good advice.

Hmmm, yeah procooling is a "decent" source for info, but personally I don't like their site. They have like 50 partially completed projects. If you're gonna do a project, do it.
My recommendations... dangerden and geminicool for waterblocks, lytron radiators on ebay (if you can find one), eheim pump, and tygon tubin. :)

That kit is silly. There's no point to getting a radiator that only uses an 80mm fan. If you're going to do that, it is more efficient to use an 80mm heatsink. If you do get that kit, or a similar one, make sure you get at least a 120mm radiator.
If you want to break into water cooling easily, www.cooltechnica.com sells nice premade watercooling cases.
