Hi. I posted about 2 weeks ago that i needed a cheap water cooling system for my x850 pro flashed to x850 xt pe. But I am finally making sum money right now :D :D :D . So I need a good water cooling setup just for my gpu. I dont need one for my cpu or any other heat producing component. My fan runs at 5000 rpm and is cooling my cpu just fine. I can stand the noise, my speakers do all the sound in my computer room :) I am sorry for I am about to ask, but I am really trying to hand pick the best water block, pump, etc. I dont want to buy a package from a company like koolance for $300. I want the best quality of each item. Again am sorry lol, I know I am asking a lot. I am 99 percent sure that I am either getting the HE120.2 or 120.3 from thermochill as a radiator. www.thermochill.com
Thanks in advance. BTW, I am also trying to cool my ram modules on my gpu with hopefully watercooling if such a thing exists.
 
watercooling only the gpu is a little odd, normally some will only go with just cpu so I guess you're the first that I've seen to only watercool a gpu (vapochillers aside).
Anyway, you don't need the GREATEST pump or rad if you're just watercooling the gpu but it couldn't hurt in case you want to get something later on...
I really like the swiftech blocks, in my experience they work well and are easy to install. They don't however cool the ram, you'll have to get some ramsinks for that. If you do get one of the waterblocks that cover the ram (Danger Den), you may not be able to use the same block if you upgrade (ram may be in a different location). As far as pumps go, I recommend the mcp650 (rebadged liang). I think DD sells one too rebadged as something else. Hard to beat that pump, I just got one and it's quieter than my old pump and lets you adjust the flow rate. It's also 12v dc so you don't have to run a relay.

Que TN to come in and tell you to get the AC stuff :p
