The PSU is fine.

 

Don't get EK, had horrible corrosion issues with those.

 

I can vouch for AquaComputer parts, top quality.

Frost upon these cigarettes.... lipstick on the window pane...

You'll have to check your retailers. I ordered mine from Aquatuning, if they shit to israel you shouldn't have a prob :)

 

I had a nice experience with the Kryos XF for the CPU [Fits yours] and the Kryographics. But be careful with the GPU blocks if your card is non-reference PCB design, you'll have to check compatibility.

I'm not sure what version you had but corrosion hasn't been an issue with their blocks and components for a very long time now since say 2010-2011.

For your components I would recommend a minimum of say around the X360 kit and then to add in a waterblock for the GPU:

Buying used parts can often be cheaper than buying those kits from EK, it was in my experience and @Ghost advises it also or did, if he still frequents here.

Ah good point! Well depending on how much you want to spend on new, you have 2x 240mm radiator mounts in that case so I would purchase one with a 240mm radiator, possibly EK?

tell you the trute i want something that works well pretty silent and just fits the style of the case "clean" nothing see trough like a side window solid parts and EK makes parts like that

plus i saw some XCPC and more make parts that fit my expectation but I read some reviews in amazon and they just brake down fast i mean if i pay 70$ for a pump and that thing is a wind tunnel after 2 hours on idle and dies after 2 months not really what i want so im pretty scared to buy some parts
