Looking to water cool my 3.2ghz/1mb/800mhz cpu and geforce fx 5900ultra video card was looking @ this http://www.xoxide.com/aquagate.html but would need to add a video cooler to it also. This is gonna be my first w/c setup so i dont wanna order it peice bye peice cause i will mess it up installing it somehow and dont wanna spend more than like 250-300 on it all. My reasons for water cooling is my chip i can run @ 4.2ghz maybe more havent tweaked everything yet cause of heat issues so want to w/c so i can try and hit close to 5ghz
 
That is a real beginner type of unit and not particulary suited for wild OC. Which BTW seems where you want to go. BTW, just as a FYI Sharka Corp has that same item for $199.95. R U really going 4 Ghz on air? If your really headed in that direction I would think about spending a few more bucks and getting this Asetek kit and getting a small reservoir for $20-30. That would give you a decent 120mm system and it includes a VGA, CPU, NB block, and be just a couple of bucks over your budgeted amount.
 
Well I can tell you are a [H] OC type if it's okay to run for only 5 minutes :eek:

Just noticed over on the Sharka site they have the Innovatek Cool-Matic FX VGA cooler for the 5900 cards on sale for a measly $60 :D It cools both ram and GPU and doesn't take up any extra PCI slots.
 
I have the DD MAZE4 on my Geforce FX 5950 Ultra, with some OCZ Copper ramsinks installed since you have to take the big metal piece off of the top. I left the large RAM heatsink on the bottom though. Mine's a BFG 5950 Ultra.
 
your going to need more then that little kit to keep it stable at 4ghz
