What components are you trying to watercool and what are you looking at spending on achieving this?

something like 100£ just my cpu. i5 760
Don't want to make you feel disappointed but just buy a Noctua NH-D14 and save some money and the worry. You won't find any kit at that price that will be able to beat the Noctua. Imho it's just not worth it to go into watercooling halfway. But I might be wrong so just make sure to wait till some others can give you more input.
Oh and don't bother with any of those prefilled kits like the Corsair H50 etc.

Just to keep you inspired check out Tom's beginner's guide to water cooling.
It is a nice piece of information on the work involved in building a simple loop. And to be honest that 120mm rad in the vid won't beat the best air cooler at the moment (Noctua NH-D14).

Yea it's not like your computer would die of something because you don't use the Noctua. Nice rig there btw.
Yeah I just think the Noctua is just the last stand air cooler before you go into insane water builds. On like sr-2s and what nots. And the pattern you see, MUST be because it works. It cant possibly be because its beautiful lol. So it all speaks for itself. Its the champion of air coolers when space permits. Infact one of the firsts vids of ttl's I watched was a Noctua review. I was thinking about the Coolit Eco cpu watercooler, or the Corsair H70 when I found it.
