New to water cooling

[pro pvp strats]

Hey, I want to try getting into water cooling soon. With black friday coming up, I thought it would be a good chance to buy parts. I know how to set it up, I just don't know what parts to get. 

The only requirements I have are:

- clear tubing

- pure white coolant

It also needs to be as cheap as possible. ($150-$200) I only want to include the cpu in this loop, I will put in a gpu loop later on.
Thanks!

Full watercooling loop for $150-200? That is impossible/ will need to use very shady parts.

[Enderman]

Dont build a watercooling loop with only $200.

You should be ready to spend $400+ for high quality components, not made-in-china crap that will leak in a year.

Adding GPU cooling will be $600+

 

You should be looking to buy an AiO with that small budget.

the jaytwocent guy made a 200 dollar loop, and it looks like the raystorm thing is like 160? ya it wont be top notch, but it doesn't have to be anything crazy

your only best solution is an watercooling kit something like this

EK watercool starter kit $ 259.93 USD

the raystorm your properly talking about is the XSPC water kit

$169.99 at frozen pc apparently

$20 distilled water

That is a total of $242 if you want decent components so it will be worth it at all.

the EK one should comes with coolent but not sure about the other ones so you may have to by one

 

 you will need to by distilled water to use the concentrate pastel(750ml distilled water + 250ml concentrate pastel) you have linked or smiply just buy a premix one

That'd be your best choice. Add Mayhems Pastel White Coolant, Clear Tubing, Fittings (duh), and a GPU block and that'd be as cheap as you can get.

That pump is trash.

 

Swiftech MCP655 will do the trick.

Although the pump in the link certainly is the best on the market, the MCP655 is absolute overkill for a single rad, 1 block loop..
