Im currently using my stock cooling fan when I bought my 3570k
Now Im thinking to buy COOLER MASTER SEIDON 120V V3 PLUS water cooling for the first time instead of Air cooling. I tried searching a few bits about water cooling though most information and guides are for Custom Water Cooling.
Now Im wondering Do I need to buy these Coils and Distilled water to fill up this Seidon 120v water cooler if so What accesories do I need to buy like this Injection pumps with hoses to fill it up that i see on most guides or is this seidon water cooling all in 1 just mount in. and rdy to go. beside from the bubble removal etc what not.

sorry for the dumb questions I'm new to custom building pc thank you.

It's a sealed kit no matainece. Pretty sure your cpu will hit a voltage wall before water-cooling makes any sense, but it should work fine. Likely you'll get the same max oc with s cryorig h5 ultimate for $62

So I heard from another threads and comments somewhere.. though I really want to try the water cooling and they look very neat. also I was hoping they will be alot quieter. also those fan coolers cost more in where i live and Thank you for clarifying. Now i can finally buy this seidon water cooler in peace.

Im Currently using a asrock z77 extreme 4, i5 3570k, gtx 980ti extreme gaming. though I havent Overclocked anything yet as im affraid of toasting them by accident.

Decent difference vs a stock or 92mm fan but very little difference between a large air cooler.
The water cooler still uses fans to push air thorugh the radiator, it is just able to use larger 140mm fans that are quieter than smaller fans.

though it's solved, getting 120mm (or any other size) of crappy AiO with aluminum rad is just a waste of money.
high end coolers do better job at lower noise for less or same amount of money.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against liquid cooling, it's just those AiOs are not rational practical choice.

I understand your point but you're not factoring everything in. My example is in real estate, my Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 3 takes up so much space and is blocking two of my ram slots. An AIO liquid cooler can perform similarly without blocking my ram slots and installation would be much simpler. This isn't factoring in noise from the pump or radiator fan but yeah, sometimes space of a great performing air cooler far exceeds the space taken up by an AIO.

All the air or water being better bullcrap aside, if you really want a decent starter water cooling kit then check out EKWB's kits they have them ranging from $170-$370 I believe. Eventually I'll be building a custom water cooling loop because of the fact my Dark Rock Pro 3 cooler(one of the best air coolers) takes up way to much space and blocks two of my ram slots :( It sure is quiet though even with two 120mm fans.
