i am a Total n00b when it comes to building a computer but i am just starting and in my new rig i am going to OCing ALOT so i dont want it to over heat and the idea of water cooling came to mind but some of these kits are too expensive for me so i was thinking maybe someone here could help me build up my own water cooling setup .....i will be running the computer in my sig so can you pick me out something good....there is one catch i don't want a kit i want to buy all my parts seperatly and i dont want to spend more than 100$-130$ on all the parts together.....thanks for all the help


and also will an antec sonata fit an WC setup??
 
You're really pushing the limit at $130, and you said you don't want a kit, but for $153 (on sale)theDtek Flowmaster XT kit is probably you're best choice.
Hell, even the little TT Big Water kit is $150....but not a great option.
 
I swear to god I see more and more of these threads everyday. They are starting to get annoying...

Fat chance in getting a watercooling kit of your choice for less then $130 man. I spent $300 Canadian including shipping on mine, it does me wonders.

Yes, the Antec Sonata will watercooling, but the problem with the Sonata is that the fan in the front is really blocked for airflow, so your not going to be getting much fresh air in your case through that fan.
 
I agree, your price range won't get you anything better than an entry level WC kit. While I don't think you need to spend $300 CAD to get a great WC system, I think you should go with high-end air cooling as Steeeeve said. I recommend this if you're going to try some serious overclocking. That's probably the best air cooling you'll find on the market, performs at the same level as a decent WC system. But a caveat is it's the extreme stress it will place on the motherboard because of it's size and weight.

search my posts, i priced together a dangerden cpu setup for around $135. depending on the cpu block you need, price might be a little more - also might need $5 worth of hardware.
