and i wanted to install watercooling this "ThermalTake Big Water SE" Kit (http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?tt-bigwse&P=2)
i was wondering would this be compatable and if not what kit would. and colling gel on the cpu would this have to be removed or a new applyed?

yes it will
just make sure there is enough room for the rad and pump in the case
(motherboard will need to be removed for installation)

You will need to remove the old thermal paste before applying the new paste
You can get it off with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover (put liquid onto tissue/kitchen towel, and rub on cpu, i did it when the cpu was still installed so i wouldnt bend any of the pins)
You get new thermal paste with the kit that you re-apply (put a pea size amount on the cpu , spreading is optional, then clamp down the cpu block and that will spread it evenly)
