 Liquid cooling
I am sick of all the noise my stock cooler makes, I have an AMD X2 5600+ (socket amd2). What would be a good liquid cooler for that and some top end nvidia video card?

If your new to Water Cooling, I'd highly recommend grabbing this kit:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...=57&subcat=193
Just incase you didn't know - With Water Cooling, you must have a fan or two on the radiator, so it's not 100% silent. If your going for 100% silence and great cooling, you'd need to go Phase Cooling, but it's expensive and you'd need to know what you were doing

Firstly, because it's a kit, so no need to buy/choose seperate parts etc. Your getting a set, so everything will 100% go with everything in the pack, and people that I know from other forums that have it, say the instructions are fantastically well put and very newb friendly 
Oh and secondly, water cooling is expensive It's the way it's always been sadly

Unfortunatly, it's the way it is
Nevertheless, it's a great kit, and although I've never tried it, it looks pretty good

Theres a link to a video review of the cooling system in a decent case

I have budget of $200, I am not concerned about the vid card as it doesnt make too much noise.

You could replace your fan for a "Silent Fan". I'm not sure how effective they are though.

Yea, Your not going to get water cooling for under $200. Some silent fan's like Steven said would be the best way to go. I'm guessing you have a ATX case cause it would be extremely hard to put them in a micro ATX board. I would either get a Scythe S-Flex 120mm of a Nexus Real Silent 120mm. They also have a increased airflow design so you'll have a cooler case
