Is this a good kit to start with?

[rentaspoon]

I'm wanting to get into water cooling just for the hell of it, I'm looking at something to build up with.

Is this a good kit to start with? I'm OK at upgrading it at a later date and "wasting" a little money.

If your just starting Out WC i would recommend getting an AIO if your only going to water cool your CPU

 

Edit: IDK Much about UK retailers but the kit seems ok to me

Phobya's rads are good, their cpu block I have never used so I can't say how the restriction and temps would be compared to the competition. Their reservoirs look amazing. Their fittings are just like all fittings. Coolant is the same as always. Their fans are probably shit like all other pre-included fans are. DDC pump is decent.

People do a custom loop not just for temps, but looks, and the experience of setting one up. Once you are able to do a simple task of making a cpu loop, it isn't hard to add a gpu. And this way he can expand later.

I know two things about water cooling kits nowt and bugger all.

However Jay (of jayztwocents) seems to rate the kits.

What This guy says is very true.

I started with an alphacool kit, and it is realy fun to do.

Its close to the higher end AIO prices and I'm not a fan of AIOs as you can't add to them

Ahh was unsure about the pump, the fans I'll change as I have some Silverstone fans that I swear by anyway thanks.

Tbh the pump is the only issue with that kit as it's the same as the EK DCP2.2 which is fine for a single block loop but that's about it. I started off with a kit like this one and I have added to it since
