okay guys! So im buying a 4790k!!! But my Cooling is pretty shitty right now. Spec,

Case - CS SPEC 01
PSU - CS CX500
RAM - CS Vengence 8x2 1600MHz
Monitor - 1080p
Mobo - MSI B85M-P33
GPU - Dont laugh, AMD 5450. I got it from my friend until i get a 960

Now I only have a fan infront of the CPU which CS includes and no fan in the back. But CS does have mounts on top for a dual fan radiator where I can put up a regular fan to keep my other stuff cool. For CPU I want to go with this Seidon 120V Plus which will go on the back and for the spare fan I want to go with the CM SickleFlow X. I am in a budget here so let me know if my choices are good and if it will fit and work with my rig and also this is just a temporary build im making until I go to US. Thanks

PS. It is a workstation so dont talk about having more RAM. I actually need more.

How about a Noctua ND-H14 for that price? I'm not good with AIO under $90 so that is my recommendation.

70$ or 80$ I wont overclock so single radiator should be enough.. and thats an i7 4790k

 

My mistake. You should overclock it. You might as well since you have a K series CPU. I can help you do that. You have an MSI motherboard too. Their BIOS is great for overclocking.

 

Corsair is known for having good AIO liquid cooling systems:

The only water cooling solutions officially supported in that case are single 120mm rads. 240mm rads aren't technically supported, although you may get away with it if you have low profile RAM. However, I don't think you do. There's only 35mm of clearance from the top grill to the RAM.

EDIT: You're also limited by what air cooler you can have in that case. I got a Cooler Master Hyper TX3 EVO because I couldn't fit the 212 EVO, it only supports CPU coolers with a height of 150mm.

@Abeed, also, why a 4790K?

What will you be doing with your PC?

First you need to ask your self what you want. 

 

Performance/price or liquid 'cos it looks good, Also 120mm rads are only good to take heat from GPU or non-K CPUs, so I would suggest to go with some good air cooling like kdmb13 says. And don't be bothered by ram interference buy low profile at 'worst' scenario.

 

... but if you want 120mm AIO then there is not 'that much' difference between competition so Seidon 120 Plus will be ok.
