Would this be good for overclocking Intel quad cores or do I need more? The radiator seems small...

Looks like that's a dual-120mm radiator; yeah? Should be enough. I have a single 120mm rad and it keeps things pretty cool; granted I have a dual & not a quad; but it's a 65nm dual on an outdated waterblock.

Looks pretty good... but is that a Swiftech Apogee waterblock in that kit? I think that's the block Avid had the corrosion problems with...

Really this block hmmm... Yeah I was wondering why it had a copper base and a non-copper top.
What would be a better water block then?
You think if I ordered everything separated that I could get a better deal?
This is my first water cooler.

That block in the kit (Apogee GT) is fine. Though you may be better off piecing it all out yourself since the D-TEK FuZion is the best block out there right now.

The Apogee GTX (what Avid had), has a nickle plated aluminum top which scratches easily thus exposing the aluminum and then causing corrosion issues. Or something along those lines...

yea. I would build yourself a system from scratch. None of the components in there look bad per say but you could do A LOT better just assembling the parts i think.

give us your price range and what you are looking to accomplish and I and im sure others will help you piece together a system. :)
