i need to buy a pump, cpu block, resvior and radiator.

radiator - 140 mm radiator
cpu block - Danger Den MC-TDX for AMD AM2 CPU/Boards
pump - Swiftech MCP655™ Series 12 VDC Water Pumps

i want to know what other model prefer except those i mention?

i forgot to mention that i may get PII x6 AM3 cpu in the couple of month.


thank you.

The MCP355 is generally recommended above the 655. The 655 has a higher flow rate listed, but a lower head pressure. With the restriction in a water loop, that higher flow rate tends to be negated, so the higher pressure from the 355 causes it to perform better.
Hardware Labs' black ice radiators come in a 140mm variety as does thermochill. They are both good companies. You'd have to be more specific about the space you are working with, how quiet you want the system, and what kind of performance you are looking at getting to be more specific.
Danger den is a good company. However, that's definitely not going to be a performance block. The EK surpreme HF supports AM2 and AM3, and it currently is tops. Heatkiller also makes an amd backplate, and is generally a good watervlock.
Reservoirs are pretty much dependent on what space you have, and where you want to put it. My personal favorite is getting a pump top with a reservoir, like this one:

though I'd shop around. I just put the first one I found, and you can usually find a good one at a good price somewhere if you shop.
 
i want to know if there any good pump that is not too expensive like 50-60.

i want to know MC350 enough for one loop on the cpu or not? or i have to get MC355 for it.
