A. Watercooling parts are a bitch when buying off Ebay. Just like any other PC component, number one rule with Ebay. Always be skeptical.

I´d never buy components on sites like Ebay or Craigslist...

 

Buy in a approved retail store like NewEgg, FrozenCPU, PerformancePC and you´ll get what you pay for and if something is DOA you can RMA it any time. Water cooling is very sensitive, don´t take any risks.

If you go option A, you can get a H55 + G10 for only $75 + Shipping. No mail in rebates!

 

Do your research and be aware that you will need some additional VRM cooling if you go G10.

If you want to watercool, do it the proper way with parts from performancepc's/ frozen CPU etc.  DO NOT cheap out on things unless you have recommendations from someone that has used the same parts without issue.

 

If you don't have the money to do a custom loop with good quality parts, I'd recommend a g10 + aio + another aio for the CPU.

Stuff:  i7 7700k @ (dat nibba succ) | ASRock Z170M OC Formula | G.Skill TridentZ 3600 c16 | EKWB 1080 @ 2100 mhz  |  Acer X34 Predator | R4 | EVGA 1000 P2 | 1080mm Radiator Custom Loop | HD800 + Audio-GD NFB-11 | 850 Evo 1TB | 840 Pro 256GB | 3TB WD Blue | 2TB Barracuda
