How much do you want to spend?

You need:

 

• To read both stickies at the top of the forum section. The Watercooling 101 and the FAQ.

Then;

 

 

Make diagram of your loop. This not only helps us understand what you want but it also helps you to understand what you want better and makes it easy to spot potential flaws in a loop.

 

To do this simply grab a 2D side on snap of your case. (Just type your case name into google images and scroll down a bit till you find one, it should be there.) Then go to a photo editing program and simply put rectangles where you would like to place your radiators, blocks, reservoirs, pumps and tubing. For blocks use blue, for radiators use red and anything else use grey and for tubing use orange/brown lines with an arrow to point out the intended flow direction of your loop. There is no need to put fans in. This forum has an upload function or you can use an image sharing site and embed the picture into your post. This is an example of this from my personal loop: http://i.imgur.com/MynbfCp.jpg

 

Then simply list all your components you wish to water-cool in a bullet point list and finally list all the water-cooling components you will use when building your loop.

 

Then we can help you.

 

Giving a list of components for you would do more bad than good.

Some water?

If you want to cool all those parts, at minimum:
 
Pump
Radiator
Tubing
Fittings/Barbs
Res
CPU waterblock
GPU waterblock
Coolant (distilled+killcoil/biocide or premade)

Good advice right here ^

Actually you need distilled water not common water lol :P

The best advice I will give OP is that if you ask people to tell you what to buy you will end up in a bad situation. Being spoon-fed watercooling is a bad idea.

 

Getting the kowledge of how things work and what you can do is the initial hard part, after that it's as simple as building a pc in the first place, so virtually everyone is capable of watercooling.
