My Price Range is about $900-$1070 Maybe $1080. Im looking for a water cooler that has colored water inside. I have two options for CPU'S. Im building this computer for HTC Vive, im figuring that i7 is the best compared to i5. I kept both options just in case the water cooler is makes the computer above my price range. I much rather the i7 so if there's a water cooler around $90 that would work, And if it doesn't have color in the water that's fine.

Heres a list of my parts:

• Gpu- MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 DirectX $299.99
• Cpu- Intel Core I5-6500 FC-LGA14C 3.20 Ghz LGA 1151 $204.99
• Cpu Option 2- Intel Core i7-6700 LGA 1151 $302.78
• Water Cooler/Cpu Cooler-?
• Motherboard- MSI Gaming Intel Skylake LGA1151 $114.99
• Case- Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower With Window $180.98
• Power Supply- EVGA SuperNOVA 850W 80+ BRONZE $79.99
• SSD- Samsung 750 EVO 250GB 2.5 Inch SATA III $70.00
• R.A.M Sticks- Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR4 $36.99
• Wifi antenna- USB Wifi Adapter 150Mbps Wireless Dongle $9.99
• Operation System- Microsoft Windows 10 Pro USB $194.99



• Total- $895.91
• Total With CPU Option 2- $993.7

 
Solution
• Power Supply- EVGA SuperNOVA 850W 80+ BRONZE $79.99

- this is a bad idea go for a quality 550w power supply

• Case- Cooler Master HAF X Full Tower With Window $180.98

- this too a bit overpriced

* go for a hybrid cooler same price as a water cooler and outpeforms both.

get the cryorig A40 ultimate.

Colored liquid only happens in a custom setup. Which is way outside your budget.

"a water cooler around $90"
That's pretty low. Any of the better air coolers will do just as good a job, for 1/2 that price.

Why Win 10 Pro? DO you really need those few extra features, for almost twice the price?
Performance is the same.
