advice on new WC set up

[tatts]

i was going to go for this kit as it has most things init i was going to get (just a different rad & res) plus a DD maze4 gpu block

is it worth buying that kit or getting a storm & MCP655 sperately and building my own? if so any suggestions?
ive never had wc before but have read many guides and now confident enough to put one together and have about £200 to spend (possibly abit more) on a decent set up, i was gonna go for a vapochill/mach II but havnt got enough confidence and dont think you can run them 24/7?

one more question, ounce its set up, do you have the fans on the rad blowing air onto them or sucking air away?

First you can run VapoChill 24/7 or close to that. The Kit has everything you need except a video card block. I think it is cheaper than buying it seperate. BTW you still build it. They have it just bundled in a kit.

i got offered a cheap vapochill xe the other day but was told there noisy and the gas? needs refilling all the time which put me off
looks abit too dangerous for me to install a vapo, prob kill my cpu lol

is that kit good enough for my rig? i thought maybe the rad might not be too clever?

nothing wrong with the MCR220... it's not the best rad out there but it's far from the worst. the apex is perfect for a first setup.

thanks mate, i will order that now :woot:

i could always upgrade the rad at a later date if needed to a Thermochill HE120.2 or 120.3, the kit has everything else i was going to get anyway :banana:


edit: will i be ok to use this instead of buying distilled water etc and mixing it myself http://www.thecoolingshop.com/product_info.php/cPath/33_63/products_id/1788
