Pump and Reservoir

I am going into watercooling and don't know what I should get. I need a good but silent pump and a good reservoir that looks good/ easy to hide (depends on how it looks and size). I have Fractal Design Define R4.

I don't want to pay like 200 $ for a pump...

I also have two geforce 660 ti's in SLI

Have you made up your mind on Radiators and waterblocks yet? If you really want water cooling and only have a $200 budget I don't think it would be the greatest idea. MCRES Micro Rev2 Reservoir is the smallest reservoir I've seen yet and Linus speaks highly of it. Also I've heard very good things about the D5 Vario and Swiftech MCP655

d5 Vario all the way, the longivity and silence is worth every penny pump wise. As for the res I think shikarikato has nailed it with the swiftech microres

The easiest res usually to hide are bay res units, that go in your 5.25 drive bays. So if you get a standalone pump, you can get a single bay res, Or, you can get a res with a pump that is attached, these are typically 2 bay rays...
