Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II

Hi, I am considering buying a Gigabyte 3D Galaxy II watercooling system. I wanted to see if you had any opinions on this cooler. This is my first time watercooling, and I liked that it is all in one kit and not to expensive. I intend to use it to mildly OC an E8400 CPU and an 8800GTX Graphics Card. Also, could anyone recommend a good waterblock for the GTX?

im personally against pre-made kits. i had one and it was NOT a performer by any means. how much do you want to spend in all? might have you get something else if possible..

Well, now that I read more things about it, I see it is not made to last (getting cracks/leaks in just a few months) I am thinking about going with a Swiftech setup (gettin than nice 3 fan radiator). Would you recommend any certain setup? $350 is probably my absolute maximum (for now). This is actually my first build, and want to make a really good computer. Do you have any opinions about using a TEC like the one Swiftech makes? I would like to get good cooling, but do not want to get in over my head. Thanks for the help!
