I'm thinking of the nzxt kraken x41 for cooling a 4790k at stock speeds. Is that enough?First time ever messing with watercooling. Will probably upgrade later.

An AIO liquid cooler is waaayy overkill for a 4790K at stock speeds. At stock clock speeds even the regular Intel cooler will do fine.

If you're leaving it at stock speeds then the stock cooler is fine.
