[Macgruber]

i want watercooling for my i7 2600k and im getting a new video card in future

SO, please suggest the best watercooling kit or should i just get two seperate kits for CPU and GPU

i dont know much about watercooling and i defiantely dont want to buy the cheap wrong stuff. please guid me as you are the pro and i are the noob!

do i buy an all in one premade kit? a seperate cpu/gpu kit to avoid issues on multiple components from one kit? do i build my own with the pieces?

I think you're looking at the wrong thing. What you're looking for is a custom loop. It is a lot harder to setup, but you get better results. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...mp_Included_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g30c321. its a bit more expensive. You will also need to buy fittings and tubings. But with a CPU block, you can upgrade down the line. Adding a GPU block and adding that to the system.

Which case do you have? It's hard to make suggestions without knowing.

a cooler master HAF and now a HAF 932 advanced

i actually got a few bent fins on the radiator from the h100 and im trying to figure out if i should just return it to store asap or if it wont matter.... there wasnt many other h100's so its going to suck if the other one is worse than the one i bought 🙁 i tried to straighten them out with a tiny screwdriver but its impossibel to make them like new

First off, you spend way too much money for (IMHO) useless stuff. Also you seem to be the impatient type. 😛

I would return the 932 and the h100

Go big or go home (go custom or go home)
Because with the haf, you can still water cool decently. If you want to get a good parts list, I would post over at OCN's water cooling section. We don't have a lot of water coolers here.

You can use a comb with properly spaced teeth to straighten out the bent heat exchanger fins...
