What brand/model of self-contained CPU water cooling is recommended these days? 

It's for a i7 4770K with Corsair 750D or 760T case. Assume a budget less than $300 (in case someone wants to suggest something extreme).

It's better by 3C while sounding like a hair dryer.

Ryzen 1600@3.8ghz / 16gb 2400mhz / ASRock B350 ITX / Gigabyte RX 470 4gb / 256gb M.2 / SG13B-Q / Corsair 450w
