Well Ive been thinking about it and am leaning towards the swiftech kit only because it will have instructions on how to instill it and I don't know ALL the parts I would need for a custom setup. But I would like to know if the swiftech gpu block is really better than the EK water block?

If someone would be kind enough to build a custom water cooling setup with ncix or something I would really appreciate it $350 CAD to $500 CAD is the budget.
