    we need a little more information about what you want to overclock.
    google.com is a good friend of yours. there are lots of good how-to's. also if you have stock cooling, i recomend you stay away from overclocking because you will cause more damage.

    you can overclock your memory, cpu, gpu and gmem. how you do it? thats when a little more info would be useful because there are different manufacturers with different methods. and i still suggest you to do your homework and read about it before and get familiar with it.
    do not ever overclock until you know what you do because it wont be a happy ending. cheaper wc systems are no better than good aircooling, in fact they are more dangerous if you dont them together properly.

    Ok
    My list of new parts
    ATI x850 pro
    Fatal1ty Motherboard
    and i have a friend that has a dad that builds computers and he is going to help me put the watercooling together plus i will have fans running at the sametime.
    the mobo and Gpu are the main thing i want to overclock by the way

    Trust me. Don't try overcloocking if you don't know what you are doing. I learnt the hard way. But at least that gave me an excuse to buy a new P4 and MoBo
    There is no other choice.

    as mentioned before, do your homework and read about overclocking before you damage your new hardware. from instructions you wont know the limits and what you are doing. if it goes wrong i have a feeling someone will cry because it will viod your warranty as well.
