I'm in the process of building a new PC with an Intel G3258 and an MSI z97 PC Mate. I would like to overclock it to 4.2 or 4.3ghz. I've been looking into a closed loop water cooling system, and am not sure if I would need 120 or 240 radiator. Any suggestions?

Getting a closed water cooling loop sort of defeats the purpose of getting a Pentium; Get a cheap-ish air cooler like the Hyper 212 Plus/Evo/X or use the money you would have used for the water cooler towards a better CPU.

The pentium has such low power output and it is unlocked. There is a purpose in getting the clc. Get an h80 or an h100 or something by antec or any decent unit, and if you have a good chip and a 240mm rad, 4.5ghz no problem
