lol, im glad i tickled ur funny bone
cool, ill research all those parts and keep reading up on how to do it all, ive been reading the beginners guide to watercooling on over-clock, ill progress from there.
Wud u recommend a PSU with that setup as ive read that with a pump u need a real decent PSU, and the Corsair 620w might be stretching it amps wize.
Galaxy perhaps?

Ok well I think a power supply is important so I just want to make sure.
I found a 'Enermax Galaxy 850W EGA850EWL CrossFire ATX2.2 Modular PSU'.
68A on the +12V<----Is that the important bit or shud I be looking at another spec to make sure
That will do fine, although there is an updated DXX model that has the pin pcie connectors as well.

Is that the 1000W Enermax EG1000EWLDXX Galaxy? Wud that much power really be needed? Im just asking cos maybe I cud save and get the cheaper 1 (850W Enermax EGA850EWL Galaxy).
Dont exactly know what u meant by "has the pin pcie connectors as well."
I thought money was no object?
You dont even need an 850w.
If you want to save money, grab a corsair 620w. Itll do the job no problem.

After a few hours research, I think I found a good pump within ur recommendations clunk. Laing DDC-1 Ultra 18watt Pump with Plexi Reservoir Top
Its on this page if u wanna see http://www.coolercases.co.uk/acatalog/Pump.html#a130. Just 1 thing though, there is a same model but a 10w Pro version, I think the 1st one is better or not? (more power the better)
well money isnt a problem, just wanted to understand what u meant by "has the pin pcie connectors as well." , how is that diff form the 850w? thought they all came with pcie connectors?
With that model I wont have to have a seperate resovoir saving even more space, sound good?
D5 or DDC, whichever you prefer. I have the D5 also known as the swiftech mcp655.

New graphics cards will have an 8 pin power connector, the new ATI cards will have a 6 pin and an 8 pin power connector, most power supplies at the moment dont have the new 8 pin connectors, but the DXX model of galaxy does.
I wouldnt bother about that, if you get a large enough case, you wont need to worry about where the reservoir will go. You can always use a t-line if you dont want a reservoir.

Ok then, ill just go for the Laing DDC-1 Ultra 18watt Pump with Plexi Top(so I can install it in HDD cage). Then have a resovoir seperate, I wud rather have one than not, isn't it just safer?
The DDC Ultra with plexi top is a top notch pump, I suggest the Alphacool Re-Pack Res might be a good idea. I had the res mounted on the DDC before and it is such a powerful pump it can be a nightmare getting all the bubbles out of the system.
The blocks Clunk mentioned will give you some serious cooling potential along with the radiator, tis a beast of a thing. I prefer 7/16" Masterkleer tubing, so much neater than 1/2" without too much of a hit in performance
Yeah, the Alphacool u mentiones is what im lookin 4. With the case im getting (Silverstone TJ07) I can get Psu in bottom left corner, rad in bottom right, pump and resovoir in empty 5 1/4 slots and HDD cage respectively, shud work I hope. Will be easier to see when I have the parts
Think I might just use 1/2" tubing to be on the safe side, plus the case is huge, if not that shudn't be hard to convert as tubing and barbs are so cheap really
You might want to have a google to see if that galaxy will fit in the tj07, if thats the psu and case you are having.
