I have a budget of 500 dollars and I don't really know much about w/c

I would like an external kit that is good quality and will let me oc alot.

I have a

Antec P160 Case
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Athlon 64 3200+
BFG 6800 Ultra
1GB DDR400 Corsair XMS DDR400
Antec 550 True PSU
Seagate 160GB Serial ATA HDD

Keep in mind that I am eventually going to upgrade to the FX55 and probably the MSI K8 Neo Platinum2 or w/e the 939 board is called

I want cooling for the northbridge, cpu, and video card

thanks alot guys!
 
$500 is too much to spend, anything over $300 and you're getting into diminishing returns. Perhaps you should save up another $350 or so and get a Vapochill, then you can do some insane overclocking :cool:

I haven't seen any external w/c kits that are really good enough to trio-cool. With that sort of cash you could either build your own external and bank a couple hundred, or upgrade to a nice new system which will perform better than your current setup even with $500 worth of water cooling.
 
I have no idea about the Corsair thingy, but you could just buy a nice Danger Den setup with a Danger Den Silver TDX block, a dual heatercore, the Danger Den all in one GeForce 6800 block, and a northbridge block if so desired. Of course all using 1/2" tubing with chrome barbs and either a reservoir or a Danger Den T line and plug along with the Laing D4 12v pump. Instead of adding it internally, stuff it into a box of some sort, and there you'll have a top performing external water cooling setup. External boxes can easily be purchased or made. Viola!
 
Aqua-Computer is coming out with an external setup that surely will eat up your 500.00.
