Need help choosing Water Cooling Kit

Ok, so I decided I want to go to water cooling now. I have a P4 2.4ghz @ 3.12ghz with an Asus P4P800 deluxe mobo and Radeon 9800 pro video card. I was looking at the kits from swiftech and dangerden but there kind of confusing to me. 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.

If you like your current case Koolance also offers a piggy back system for 199$ That should work wonders
