Just got my 8800GTS 320MB last week (upgraded from 6150 onboard- what a difference lol) I've been getting some mad OCs out the 8800GTS (675/1000) but the only thing that's holding me back is the temps- its gets too hot after about 2-4mins of these speeds.

I've decided to invest in the world of water cooling, But I've got no idea where to start, I'm looking for:

Something thats good for Overclocking
That's not too loud
That'll take a 2nd 8800GTS (I plan to SLI in a year or so)
Preferably under £150-200 all together
A all in one kit, but I could handle something more complex
That'll work with a VGA water-block that was designed for the 8800GTS- like http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=273&code=021 or http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=406

I'm from the UK so stores like ebuyer.com, amazon.co.uk, scan.co.uk, overclockers.co.uk and dabs.com are preferable- but I can buy from else where. I wont be buying for more than a month, but I all ways like to do my research. Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated.

Thanks, Adam
