Ok all im slowly getting the money together for my new pc off Vadim and ive gone from air cooled to the Idea of water cooled.

Now the question I have is about the different options, is the Liquocool premim D cpu+1vga+chipset that much of a step down from Liquocool Arctic D cpu+1vga+chipset. As the price difference is quit alot between the set ups.

I would like a decent set up but for the arctic D set up I will just have to wait that bit longer before I make the purchase. the cpu I was going for was Intelcore2 quad 6600 retail and a Nvidia 8800gts the new version.

As always thanks in advance for any replys

What is your budget, overall.
You should probably want to give us an idea of what it is going to be used for, how much you are willing to pay, and then do a rough setup of what you want your pc to contain; either using the configurator or just words.

I can got to £2.4 maybe £2.6 thousand but just wanderd if the second option was worth the extre couple hundred pound in terms of cooling and reliability

the liquocool antarctic series use thick tubes and a more powerful pump. that obviously makes it for greater cooling potential, but if you are on a budget, then liquocool premium series do the job too, just make sure to select a good case.
