Hello guys, I'm about to buy my parts for a new PC as follows:

I planned on getting a thermalright silver arrow to go along with it when i saw a watercooling kit for $150. the xspc rasa 750 rs360.

Now, im a TOTAL noob at water cooling, but I have a bit more cash to spare, so I thought i'd ask if you guys think its a good idea.

heres a link to it:

and heres a link to a review i found comparing to silver arrow/nh-d14 and a swiftech kit:

I really like those temps, but like I said, im a total noob at water cooling, afraid of leaks, and don't know how to maintain one (if needed?)

What do you guys think I should do? stick to a high-end air cooler? go with this kit? buy separate water cooling parts? any help would be much appreciated! thanks :)


slight edit: forgot to mention I plan to overclock (4.8-5ghz or beyond), this system will be used only for gaming at a resolution of 1920x1200.
 
I think it's a bad idea. Stick with a high-end air cooler. You're better off using that money for a larger SSD or GTX 570 SLI.
 
I'm not intrested in an SSD.

I was interested in doing 570's in SLI (or unlocked 6950's), I don't care about the power draw/temps/noise, but im afraid of micro-stuttering and other SLI issues that would ruin the experience, thus making a single GPU superior.

Any other opinions? I think in the end i will go with air... those 20C less do seem promising though.
