It might) however going cheap as possible is not the best way for watercooling. If it fails do not blame anybody but youself)

because it is not very reliable and might cause catastrophic consequences) on top of that a good air cooler will outperform this kit

What are you cooling? And what is the goal of your cooling adventure? Also do you have any limitations in your cpu cooler hight?

Just slap on an air cooler. No point it spending much on that platform.
