i have been looking for a RGB or at least white LED cpu cooler under 25$ for my 750$ white build. the reason i want it led is cause simply led fans look sexy af. but i cant find one or at least don't have the patience to look. hears the build so far - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Nn34Z8

please tell me a good fan that will keep my cpu nice and cool while still having bad ass white led's.

Before you get to that the very first thing you want to do is to toss that power supply there and get a proper one, coolmax is not regarded to be a good unit. You will want a good quality 500-600w unit. Here is a good list of quality power supplies and which ones to avoid. Also as mentioend if you are not getting an overclockable CPU there isn't a need for a Z170 board you can get something like a H or B series.

Build one. 

No really its actually easy, grab a cheap ish tower style heatink based cooler with or without fan, then a 4 pin or "PWM" fan of the same size with white LEDs and mount it to the heatsink. voila cheap, pretty and effective

that's a big and confusing list.

Here to help you narrow it down a little some good units for that tier of machine if your plan on getting an overclockable CPU would be the Seasonic M12II or M12II EVO or EVGA GQ or GS series. If you planning on getting a locked CPU the CXM (grey) series would also be something to look into.
