I'm looking for general advice about water cooling my new computer. If I have a water cooling kit installed, I can get an oem processor (without heatsink and fan)????

An OEM processor will do. Take note that when you do not have a heatsink fan, there could be less air blowing towards the voltage regulator area. Be sure to have good case ventilation especially if the Northbridge is not part of the water cooling circuit.
If you have not bought the kit, take a look at the best in air cooling, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme.

no this is not wise. water cooling can keep cool up to an extent, but processors get so hot that they could melt the pipes. the water cooling kit is to cool the air and therefore you need the heat sink to suck up all the heat away from the proccessor and the fan to blast cool air to the heatsink to cool it.
