I am building a desktop with intel 6700k and Nvidia 1070 GTX.

Does this liquid cooling suffice?:Asetek 550LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler - Extreme Cooling Performance (All Venom OC Certified)

Or should I upgrade for $50 and go with this?:Corsair Hydro H90 140mm Liquid CPU Cooling System w/ Copper Cold Plate - Enhance Cooling Performance (All Venom OC Certified)

Thanks!

the asetek and the hydro are both based on the same (bad) pump design (fails, just a matter of time).

i prefer the arctic ("cheap" and not asetek pump), or if you wanna get a "top of the line" AIO, EK predator (worth the money).

the arctic will already do a pretty good job lowering the cpu temps, and since it will dump (the cpu) heat outside the case,
(mount rad fans blowing out, not as intake) the case/gpu/chipset/vrm temps will drop way more.

The reason why Intel wasn't including cooler for K series because they knew the K series will handle more than it TDP, it'll scale all the way to liquid nitrogen, yes it's few degrees different, you can google CPU cooler review yourself and make your own dissipated heat per dollar comparison list, but for us users, the availability is a major problem, so get whatever cooler that place the top of your list.
