Water Cooling for beginners

[=ETS= GeneralClev]

Come on then...how easy/hard is it?

I've wanted to try water cooling but never had the guts, always believe that i will start the PC up and see liquid gushing out of the PC lol

What would you guys recommend? Here is my system details:

AMD Phenom II 940 3Ghz
4GB DDR2 Corsair Dominator
MSI DKA790GX Platinum
2 x 160Gb WD Raptor 10k - Raid 0
Ati Radeon HD 4870x2
Corsair 750watt
X-Fi - Fatal1ty Series PCI
Antec Nine Hundred Case

Basically i want to get rid of the cooler on the CPU (can't remember the name but it's quite big!!) and maybe look at cooling the GPU with liquid.

I believe i will need to change the case but not too bothered about that (don't tell the mrs!!!)

CPU block has to be a EK Supreme HF
GFX block, I had a EK one for the 4870X2, that was good.
Radiator an EK again
I would get a DDC 3.2 pump. with this reservoir top
You will be limited on where you fit a rad in that case though.
As for leaks you can use some feser F1 inert coolant.
In 8 years I haven't had a leak and that's due to doing things carefully and properly the first time and triple checking everything

Thanks mate,

Stupid question but do these parts come with instructions? Or would it best to search for tutorials? I don't believe i will have any issues but i think it's always better to double check everything

What case would you recommend?

Looking at some of those prices i will probably have to wait until i upgrade everything, unless you can use the same CPU cooler on AM2 and AM3 chips?

Yeah pretty much everything comes with fitting instructions, if you have any issues let us know.
