Not sure what to get for my C2D 6300 and 8800GTX.

I was looking around for some liquid based cooling but i was not what would be best for OCing them. The 8800 runs hot as it is already, but if I am to take it to Ultra speeds I figured I'd need to get better cooling first. So I'd like some suggestions from you knowledgeable folk.
 
Goals? I believe I already stated that it's to overclock. As for budget, right now it's 200 dollars.
 
Here's a pretty good setup. You need to spend more b/c together, the processor and the GTX will put out around 300W of heat.

Swiftech MCR320 Radiator $55-65
D-Tek FuZion or Swiftech ApogeeGTX CPU Waterblock (70+) (Only get the GTX if you plan on upgrading to a quad any time soon)
Swiftech Stealth 8800 VGA Block or EK FC-8800 Waterblock (110-120)
Swiftech MCP655 (80)
Swiftech MicroRES (20)
Masterkleer 7/16" Tubing (15)
3x Yate Loon DS12-H (3.50*3 @ Jab-Tech)
Barbs, etc (??)

TOTAL COST: ~$350-400

That's about as good as it can get for a lower budget. Good luck dude.
