Cooler might need a bit more, but not much good out there right now unless you go full on custom loop.

Pretty badass.

Quadstellar have guessed at price of approx $350, should be around that too IIRC. That's the best bang for buck I can think of at the moment for that budget. If I actually had $3000 though I would wait and see for the next few months anyway
