what you want to here is buy a H100i or somthing like that, but this is not water cooling, and it does not cool as a built water loop would, a good loop for the CPU only will be around $300 US, otherwise, do as you wish.

H80i unless you can find a cheap H100/i.
Though the best option at that price range, stick with air cooling and get something like an NH-D14. Will outperform a H80i easily.

So I'll buy the H100i because I found it on Amazon for $88, thanks. ;)
