You won't get a very good OC with that B350 board tho

oh... well I still don't want high temps

If your CPU is already at 4 ghz then even with a custom loop it won't go much higher

Just get an AIO water Cooler. You need to set aside more money for leaks, fluid changes, general maintenance and replacements in case things go bad. It can get very costly and the price you're giving assumes you want to just build it and leave it alone.

To put it simply if you want to custom water cool and this is your first time and you know next to nothing you should either go with a kit that has everything such as those provided by EK Waterblocks. This way you have all you need for a certain amount and you can remain below that $500 buck threshold.

 

OR

 

You part out all the pieces yourself. Performanc-PCs.com will be a great store for this. 

What  you'll need:
Pump D5 or DDC

Reservoir (you can go without, but I recommend it)

Radiator -- choose one that fits your case but will also provide enough cooling: 240mm or 280 or maybe even a 360mm if it fits in your case.

Tubing -- the inner and outer diameter of the tubing must correspond to the fittings so keep this in mind otherwise you'll have tubing that won't fit the fittings properly.

Fittings -- if you are only doing a CPU loop, at a minimum, you need 6. Fittings can cost from 3-6 bucks per fitting depending on type and brand. If you need extra fittings for angles and drain ports, those will cost more. A good drain port can be 15 bucks. 

Fluid

Fill bottle (or just get a funnel)

Paper Towels

Misc. supplies I didn't mention.

 

Essentially do your research there is a lot of information to be found regarding custom water cooling. This method of cooling isn't the cheapest and as someone said, an AIO might be the way to go, but if you do want a custom loop, seriously check out EKWB's fluid gaming (aluminum line of custom loops) line for less expensive products or EKWB's other complete kits that use copper. There are a lot of other companies as well that are worth note: Primo Chill, AlphaCool, Mayhems, BitsPower, XSPC, and more.
