I want one that has a GPU, CPU, and Chipset block along with a radiator, pump and all that other stuff you need to get it to run. My price range is around 250 dollars so if anyone could tell me what I would need to choose I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks |
Kits are nice for their easy installation but if you want the best cooling system, you are better off picking your parts based on the performance of that particular part.
that being said, if you want a kit, I would suggest this one:

as far as the options for that kit go, I would definitely get the whitewater block for the CPU, the hydor L30 pump and the aluminum top for the block.
there goes $200 of the budget....getting a high performance watercooling system including all of the blocks you mentioned for $250 is not going to be easy. if you want really high performance, which is why you use watercooling in the first place, get the CPU and the GPU covered and then worry about the n.bridge block later. The n.bridge block shouldnt be that much of a concern unless you are severely over-volting it.
