my suggestion would be to avoid it, Go for high end cooling instead, It'll perform so similar to pre-built water cooling it's insane and has far less hassles. It also is a fraction of the cost. A Noctua NH-D14/Thermaltake FRIO Extreme/BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 are all great choices for extreme air coolers. Those coolers will keep your CPU cool in overclocking for sure. By the way I have the Noctua NH-D14 SE2011, which is just the same cooler with the LGA 2011 connector, and i have OC'd my 4930k to 4.9Ghz, runs like a charm and doesn't get hot at all, even under load it's under 70 degrees, pretty darn good i say.

Mi advice would be similar to what unknownofprob said....

... if you need to ask then is better to avoid water cooling and instead buy a good air cooler for the cpu.

Pd: I'm not against water cooling as im using one myself but on advantages/disadvantages have a lot more disadvantages and only in very specifical situations are better than a proper air cooling.

Only some drawbacks from high-end air coolers;

1) This doesn't effect me but I actually like it, They are huge and take up quite a bit of space inside the case. but your case will most certainly fit all the ones i listed.

2) they are so big they hang over ram slots on the motherboard, If you are sticking to only using 2 ram slots, then your fine, if you want to use all 4, best to go for a more slimline CPU cooler or go with your pre-built water cooling route

With this one the Trident X have a small detachable heatsink, if you choose a too lower profile heatsink you could have some height problems to fit the ram, with stock rams there is usually no problem, also if you use a cooler that generate air flow vertical to the mainboard instead propeling the air to the end of the case usually you cool the Ram in a very effective way.

With a water cooler system a lot of times and with some cases you could get a lot of heat in the rams and specially in the main board VRMs because you only have airflow in the water heatsink and have almost cero airflow around the Cpu socket.
