To finish up my new build ive got my watercooling to add.
That means a cpu cooler and 2 vga coolers
This is the cpu cooler i picked:

And this is the VGA cooler ill be getting 2 of:

Along with these for cooling the Vram:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/thermalright-8800-gt-ram-pwn-ddr-ram-heatsinks-for-hr-03revav2
I read about the vga cooler blocks and found they restrict the flow quite a bit (which is good as it means they really force the liquid to get the heat, but bad as the flowrate will drop too far and the overall performance will go down.
To combat this im getting a second pump (800lph) to go with the 750lph pump in my resivoir.
Also I currently only have 1 dual fan radiator, which is questionably designed in such a way that liquid can just go directly between both holes without going through the fins, so im going to add another one. This is the model ive chosen:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/ek-coolstream-rad-xt-(240)
Im going to set the loop up like this....
Reservoir > pump > CPU > old radiator > GPU 2 > pump 2 > GPU 1 > new radiator >
This is the full list of stuff.
I already have the 1 dual fan radiator and 1 quiet antec fan and 2 quiet thermaltake fans and my old reservoir/pump unit.

Also im picking this PSU up from microdirect on Sunday:
http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Product/47121/ThermalTake-PSU-875W-ToughPower-XT-PSU-80-plus-
My pc will be practically silent after this and atm my PSU makes a horrible scratchy noise from its capacitors, it has done since I got it but has never been a problem, so im keeping it to use for a second pc or future backup etc.
Once again ill be ordering this all on monday, so would appreciate any advice, or you've been an idiot moments.
