LOL i love how people will get over excited and then just start this post ALL OVER AGAIN. I dont know how many times ive answered this question in this same section.
Well, to help you out a bit, High end kits may actually be a better value then getting each parts piece by piece.
your asking why?
Because in a kit, they give you almost everything you could possibly need. Tubing, clams, water treatment compounds, even an instruction manual for those that are completely new the water cooling. Also you dont have to worry about mixing metals (which is a VERY VERY BAD THING), and the fittings are all identical. Dont mix fittings, like 1/2 on one thing and go down to 3/8ths on another.
the best kit to date that i know of, also the kit that my brother and i are on, except mine is tweeked out more is the swiftech apex 220. Just make sure you buy gpu blocks if you want to water cool your gpu. Another good kits are the ones provided by DangerDen. Either will do fine.
Anyhow do some searchs on the threads as i have assisted a lot of people with watercooling, and if you still have questions feel free to pm me, i'll be glad to refer you to sites where you can pick up parts, and also give you some advice.
