With 300 you can get a pretty good system. If you're not a performance freak, you can get the OCZ cpu block for around 40. A MCR220 is about 50. A DDC pump is about 70 and a good top, like the XSPC which is a favourite is about 20. A switftec micro-res is another 20. cooling your vga card is an investment - can run anywhere from 50 bucks to 180, depending on model and if you want a full cover block or not. without the VGA block, you're talking about 200 US. tack on some tubing, fittings and shipping, and i think you'll be under those 300. it all depends what you want as far as performance, what you want to cool and how flexible that budget is.

Hmm I dont know what prices are like in italy, but I would imagine you'll be better with an OCZ hydroflow if your going for cheap.

You'll probably have to buy a replacement top for either of them (maybe not the D5), and either will perform fine.

I have the DDC Ultra (DDC3.2) and it's great.

OK, maybe i will buy an Alphacool Laing DDC-Pump 12V Ultra Water Tank, so I don't have to buy a reservoir

Thermochill PA120.3
or
Feser Xchanger Quad 480 Extreme

any chance for an update with:
Swiftech MCW60-R2
D-TEK FuZion GFX 2
Swiftech Apogee™ GTZ
D-TEK FuZion v2
im guessing the list is sorted in order of performance from highest to lowest
