Choosing parts for WC

No point doing CPU only WCing with only a single 120mm radiator, if you are going to do that you might as well go with something like the Corsair H100. If you are going to do a water cooled system its going to cost you a lot so you might as well go all out and include the GPU in the loop and have a big enough radiator to actually give you a significant benefit over air cooling.

@kajabla, Thanks for the advice but I think I am definitely going the water cooling direction - to be honest I am doing it partially for aesthetics, but also I've recently started overclocking, and from what I've read, liquid cooling can out perform air.

@hunter315 - If a dual radiator will make that much of a difference, I'm all for it - do you have any suggestions? As for adding my GPU to the loop, I currently have an XFX 6850 and it doesn't generate that much heat but I'd definitely like to have the ability to expand if I do upgrade.

@amuffin, I just looked it up now...probably a dumb question but can the rad be mounted inside cases? I have an NZXT Phantom and it has a space for a dual rad. All the pictures I saw were of it outside. For aesthetic reasons I was thinking about getting a cylindric reservoir, but if the Apogee outperforms the Raystorm I'm sure I could compromise.
