    Budget?  Are you looking to just buy a kit, or buy parts separately?

      Here is a site to start looking.

      http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=liquid+cooling&x=0&y=0

      Read the reviews on each of them.  Failure of some of the units have destroyed the entire computer so be careful.

        More info on the machine specs; case and anything else you can add would be helpful...

        This ... but also, why do you want to go liquid cooling?
        To begin with, an 80.2 radiator, if it will even fit, will not even cool an i7 CPU effectively ...
