I would actually recommend one of the swiftech kits. I hear they perform a bit better than the thermaltake kits.
It really is much better to piece together your own water cooling parts though. If you want I could help you select parts.

This kit is fairly good for an assembled kit:

buying a water cooling kit is like buying a proprietary computer. Not very good for upgrading and usually low performance parts. With the swiftech kit, the supplied pump, most would say, is the best pump on the market for a water cooling setup but the radiator isnt very good. So its better to piece together your own.
