So I'm looking to enter into the world of watercooling. I've recently purchased a benchmark GTX 970 which might as well have play-dough jammed inside for how bad the temps stay with mild overclocking... Since I need to cool that down, I figured I might as well cool my CPU as well. I have the 970, a i7 4770k (LGA 1150), all inside of a Thermaltake Overseer. I'm too much of a wuss to try and create my own loop with my own piping, so I'm looking for an all-in-one to cover both components. As I'm sure many people on here already know, my options are limited. I'm willing to spend some more to get a quality product, but I don't want to go crazy... Any suggestions?

Custom loop or shitty AIO?

People usually get a 240m or 280m for the CPU and for the GPU they usually get a 120mm radiator and attach it to the GPU block. I've seen a lot of people use corsair h55's and h60's for those.

I have been looking at Corsair's products, I just wasn't sure if somebody sold an AIO with both already integrated. But thanks for the tip about the radiators! And Benji, I am mostly looking at AIO's for the sole reason of me being too afraid of messing up the tubing... But if you have suggestions, I'll gladly hear them!
