Ok. It's been two years since my last build, and I'm sure my rusty amd 3500+
would love some needed rest, so here's what I have so far.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128361 Gigabyte GX58-EXTREME

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202 Intel i7 920 overclocked to about 3.8 GHz

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102768 SAPPHIRE 4870 X2

I know that overclocking a 920 to that speed is pretty hot, and I would like to circumvent it
with some decent watercooling, though I have no idea what companies provide quality
products since this is also my first time water cooling.

I've looked around and found these...

Radiators:

Radiators that look shady:

Could anyone tell me what pumps and waterblocks work well, and whether or not I'm
choosing a good radiator?
 
I would get a Swiftech GTZ with the i7 adapter plate...

And either a Black Ice Pro or Swiftech MCR double or triple radiator... The MCR is a bit better than the black ice, but the price difference between the two more than makes up for that.
