I recommend the NZXT Kraken X62. I have it working with my 6850K and it stays cool even when overclocked.  It has RGB but I have it disabled, but it is always there if I want to use it.

PS It's an enthousiast build, so price shouldnt really matter

I have a kraken x61 and it's fantastic. Get the newer version (Kraken x62) of course tho

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

If you wanna throw money at it go custom and add the GPU to the loop also. Watercooled Pascal will maintain higher boost clocks than air.

 

As a guide go with 12mm tubing and I would say Rigid from the off, watch some vids and buy twice the amount of tubing to allow for errors.

 

Basic loop will need 2 fittings per component in the loop + a couple of extras for drains etc.

 

So a loop for you would be like

 

Reservoir

Pump (or a combo)

360mm + 240mm radiator if your case allows

CPU Block

GPU Block

5x High Static Pressure 120mm fans (Ek Varder, Thermaltake Riing 12, Noctua etc)

 

A loop like this would need like 14 fittings.

 

90 and 45 degree can also help with looks and make tube routing easier
