Need help w/ watercooling

[endorphins]

Hey,

It's about time I upgrade my pc again, and this year I'm deciding on buying the following:

Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6750 2.66ghz (plan to take overclock it to 3.0ghz or higher)


I'll be keeping:

Nvidia GeForce 7900GTX 512mb gfx card
2 74GB WD Raptor HDD's Raid-0
1 200GB WD HDD


Now, I want to spend no more than $300.00 USD on a watercooling set up, and I'm afraid I'm some-what new to it all. I want to OC my CPU and most likely my GFX card, so does anybody have any suggestions as to what I should get for watercooling, and what good websites to use to build a cooling system?

Also, I was looking at these:

http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=28_41&products_id=190
and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811233021 (little too expensive though)

Any ideas, or suggestions would help.

once you do the cpu your going to want to do the gpu and some point, maybe after your next gpu card, but anyway get a good rad and a good pump so you you can have room for upgrades

The WC advice is all good.
I just do my CPU and NB.
I have a Nautilus 500,Swiftech Apogee GTX and an EK NB cooler.

You might want to reconsider the MB choice. I have the ASUS P5N32-SLI board and we have a real love hate relationship.
The board is pretty solid, but doesnt OC as well as the EVGA 680i A1 revision. Give that board a read-up and make sure of the decision before you buy the P5, there are times I wish I'd have waited and bought one of the EVGAs.

Now, my set-up runs rock solid and I have enjoyed building it, but I've been at it for almost a year to get where I'm at.
