Noob starting Waterloop. Any recommendations?

As title says I want to start my own loop. I have a kraken x61 aio powering my CPU so I decided to start small with just my gpu then over time i can expand from there. Any brand recommendations? I was looking and ek seems to have some kors that start around 200 and swiftech has some cool looking pump/resovoir combos that would be easy to mount in my case. Are any of these good?

Also, $200 is your budget to get started water cooling a GPU?

That's going to be a challenge....

North America . Yes I would prefer to not go over 200for basic setup but I do have a full waterblock already.

The kits like the EK ones are great, EK hand picks their part that they would sell separately, and puts them together so the consumer isn't confused by all the measurements they need, and also save some costs

Record holder for Firestrike, Firestrike Extreme and Firestrike Ultra for his hardware

Top 100 for TimeSpy and Top 25 for Timespy Extreme

Yes I was looking at the s240 and s360 at $199 and $219, I was thinking that would leave me with the option to add my cousin or another gpu later if I wanted. Swiftech has some really inexpensive options as well but I am not sure of the quality?

I have never work with Swiftech product, so I can't testify for them, I have had some really good experiences with EK products, and will reuse them, and will recommend them.

Yes seems I only hear good things about ek so this might be the easiest/most cost effective option
