I'm going to buy a 7700k and a MSI Gaming M3 Z70 Motherboard in the next few days. I currently have a Hyper 212 LED and I don't think that will last long so i'm planning to get water cooling. Whats the best water cooler for less than 150$? I can go higher. Will I run into any problems with the motherboard?

It depends on your case. If you have a full tower or mid tower, I'd definitely go for the H100i V2. :)

I recommend the Arctic Liquid Freezer 240.

I like how the overview at Newegg specifically doesn't have the Noctua fans in the head to head comparison selection.

They include four fans that are optimized for air flow. Individually, they're not quite as good with radiators as an NF-F12 would be, but they're not bad fans, and they include four of them so there's no issue with cooling.

 

It cools about as well as a non-thick 280, and $$ to performance it's the best AIO I've ever worked with.

The Arctic Liquid Freezer 360 is also under $150, so if your case has room for it, and you plan to do some serious overclocking, it's probably the best bang for your buck.
