I cant tell you which one is the best although I can advise you on which one not to get and that is the Kingwin AWC-1, I have had it for a about 4 months and I am not overly impressed with it. It leaks every once in while and it doesnt seem to keep my cpu very cool. I hope this helps narrow the field of choices

Dont bother with prebilt kits. Youll get better performance with a high end heatsink solution.

If you do go water, dont skimp on it. take a look at www.petrastechshop.com and check out their kit setups.

I'm thinking about this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835128015

it looks like i could fit it my case, plus the heatsink has a fan attached to it!

EDIT: Nevermind, maybe it won't fit in my case. I would really appreciate it if someone could configure a nice kit for me with a pump that sits in an optical drive, because i have a mid-sized case.

your setup doesnt need watercooling....

if you really want it, and i only suggest you get WC if you know what you are doing, you can severely damage parts by leaks.

High end air cooling with 2 120mm exhaust fans, 1 80 MM blow hole fan, and a Zalman CNPS 9500 Will be much cooler then prebuilt watercooling.

Air cooling usually has lower idle temps. while a nice custom water cooling will have excellent load temps.

He already has a Zalman.

And the the original poster, the best solution for w/c is a full sized xase.

i know i have a small case but i can put the radiator on the top of my case. The reason i want water cooling is because of my room temperature in my house is usually 77-80 degrees(depending on the time of day) and it can get pretty hot in my room which means high temps for parts even with my 3rd party heatsinks. since the radiator would be on the outside of my comp, the temps would be a lot lower. Although i have not installed watercooling, i am determined to do it and i have a lot of experience with building computers. If anyone would like to help me find a better and maybe a cheaper kit then the gigabyte i would be delighted. just make sure it has a radiator that fits in a drive bay. Also, where would i put a pump in my case? i looks like u have to screw those down somewhere. lol that was a dumb question. i'll read that guide someone sent me and not be such a "n00b".

If you want a radiator outside of your case then take a look at this.
