What all would I need If I just wanted to cool my CPU and maybe video card? And how would the loop look?
Edit: Should also add that they both would be overclocked as high as i could get them.
Welcome to the thread
(forgive me if you posted before).
What you will need in general are:
GPU WB: jury is out on the Dtek GFX2
CPU WB: IMHO the Dtek Fuzion is a good option
Tubing: you have to decide on what size you want to go with and pick your barbs accordingly. One idea is 7/16" ID which can fit 1/2" barbs
Radiator: There are a few to choose from be it Thermochill, Swiftech, Feaser (haven't seen reviews on this yet unless I forgot, lol) and HW Labs to name a few. I would suggest a 3 fan radiator. You want a radiator that can dispense heat at a min RPM.
Thermalright LGA775 RM Retension Bracket: This will prevent you from bowing your motherboard as you tighten down on the screws of your WB.
Fans: You want a reliable, durable fan that can push a good amount of air at a low RPM. Without it choking do to the restriction of the radiators fins. There are a few options, IMHO Scythe SFF21E and Yate Loons medium fans are a good start.
Tube Clamps: I would get the plastic ones.
Finally, you will have to decide if you want to go with a reservoir or a T-line. T-Lines can reduce the amount of tubing and allow your case to have a more tidy look. However, the Tee itself can be restrictive (I wouldn't get a 1/2" Tee but the next size larger from your Hardware store). Also, compared to a reservoir takes longer to bleed the loop of airpockets/bubbles. Either way, the choice is yours which way you want to go.
) Also the Enzotech blocks are Forged (MUCH better thermal efficiency than cast)
