Hey, what specs do you have? Some parts are incompatible with others. Also do you ant an AIO or custom loop? For AIO a x61 Kraken is a great choice.

Welcome to the Forums!

 

At that pricepoint I would suggest AIO coolers like the NZXT X61 or H100i, for custom loops that's not possible. Watercooling isn't what would be considered cheap even for lower grade parts which isn't always recommended.

my specs are a

msi r9 270x

asus m5a97

cpu?dont know

and a 1 tb barracuda

 

With lower end hardware it's not recommended to watercool, also there aren't full cover waterblocks made for the 270X. Especially if you don't do heavy overclocking or have a locked CPU.

Hit start and type System Information

It should give you what CPU you've got.

get a aio for your gpu or cpu  or get new gpu, cpu and MB like  z97 or above and gtx 970 or 290x/390 and above . nothing under this 99% has the blocks made for the stuff and its cost effective to do . custom loops that are  cheap ant worth it , same with cheap parts if a compression fitting is a buck their is a reason its that cheap it sucks . * the ek starter kits are semi cheap for that reason  but they are 200-400min$. xspc are also good just the non bay res's

now the rant

DO NOT BUY THERMALTAKES  CUSTOM ONES . if its made by thermalfake then its going to cause problems since they are back 15 years ago on the custom loop group mixed metal loops ant fun to do not try unless you got alot of money to blow on new parts .

 

for the 140$ limit AIO is all you got to chose with or buy a high end tower cooler for your cpu . i spent that alone on my res with all the parts for it . im in the upwards of 1200$ now in blocks and accessories which is sad now i think about it :ph34r:
