Should i get Liquid cooling closed loop (CPU only) or should i just take stock cooler , till i will have enough money to buy full loop ?

I will wait for full loop then ;) thanks
 


You could also get a reconfigurable loop that you can open up later. The Fractal Design Celsius S24 is a solid option with excellent performance. I'd happily reuse the radiator in an open loop. Each part also comes with a 5-year warranty that still covers everything after you open the loop up.
 


Bear in mind that the EK kits don't perform very well until you get to the 360mm radiators. Any less than that, and you can get better results from the x61, S24, and others. It's worth noting that the Swiftech options are notably worse than the EK options performance-wise.

Thank you ;)
 
don't bother with crap coolers (AiOs).
your CPU can happily live with the stock cooler even slightly overclocked (4.6-4.8GHz).
there are not many reasons to do liquid cooling today.
the main ones are:
compact systems
silent systems
systems working in high ambient - over 30C
the look
or any combination of the above.
the overclocking potential is increasing by 100MHz between good air cooler and good custom loop. so this part can be ignored as 100Mhz do not make any difference in real life usage.
