Hi,
Can someone provide advice on which water (or air) cooler is ideal for my CPU as there is no stock cooler. I've got 2 builds that require a CPU cooler, both have all components except the CPU cooler. The first build is:
CPU: Intel i7 5820K
Motherboard: Gigabyte X99 SLI ATX
PSU: Corsair HX1000i 1000W Platinum
GPU: EVGA GTX 980Ti 6GB GDDR5 FTW AC2+
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) 2400MHZ DDR4
Storage: 1x Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, 1x Samsung 850 EVO 1TB, 1x Sandisk Extreme Pro 960GB
Case: Fractal Design R5
CPU Cooler: ???
The second build is:
CPU: Intel i5 6500
Motherboard: ASRock Z170 Extreme4 ATX
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G2 ATX
GPU: Gigabyte 4GB GTX960
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2133MHZ DDR4
Storage: 1x Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
Case: Fractal Design S
CPU Cooler: ???
I'm considering one of these, maybe the H100i for the i7 build and the H80i or maybe the CoolerMaster for the i5 build but I also don't understand why the massive difference in price between the Corsair and Coolermaster and whether anyone has suggestions between the two or if any others that I should consider.

Also, how easy is it to setup a water cooler as I've not even built a PC before, at most I've only toyed around with remove disk drives, harddrives and heatsinks on Laptops but never ever touched desktop rigs.
Thanks
