I purchased my water cooling system last night. Can't wait for it all to get here so i can get it up and running. Here it is:

CPU block:
Swiftech MCW6002-64

Rad:
Danger Den Black Ice Micro Dual 80mm Radiator

Pump:
Swiftech MCP650

Res:
Danger Den Round Reservoir

Tubing:
Tygon 1/2 inch ID

And can't forget the AS5. Cost me about $288. Can't wait.
 
Reading is always advisable, but assembling a water-cooler isn't rocket science. Secure your barbs well, test and use the right coolant and you'll do fine. Selected quality parts is half the battle and you've done that already.
 
Why do so many people think water cooling is complex? It's almost a no brainer, not nearly as complex as most lawn sprinkler systems. Is it just because it's inside a computer case? There are only 4 main parts, how could you not get it right?
 
Just couple of things, use teflon tape when installing fittings, plan out carefully where everything will be going, cut tubing longer than you think you need just in case, and dry fit everything.

Once all tubing are cut, run the whole loop out of you computer and check for leaks. Best way to check for small leaks is to use toilet paper and just use the edge to see if any moisture by the clamps and fittings.

One of the things that will save you time and aggravation will be to install a T flush at the bottom of you loop somewhere so it will be easy to flush your system with out making a big mess.
Buy the flush kit from like walmart, its for cars but comes with 3 size fittings.
 
A BIM 2 will handle his 939 just fine with lots of overhead. The OP will only start to see issues if he tries to cool his GT, if then.
