Cooler Decision

Hello, I'm building my first PC and I'm having trouble deciding which cooler I should use for cooling my i5-6600k, my top finalists are the NZXT x61 Kraken and the THermaltake Riing RGB 360. I don't really have a budget because I'll just buy one of these two.

 

 

Thanks!

I think you will get better cooling from a triple 120mm fan radiator than a double 140mm, since it has a larger surface area (43200mm2 vs 39200mm2), plus it has pretty lights unlike the Kraken.
