Either get a custom water set up, or dont bother if you are looking for high end cooling performance. If its just for looks, then get whatever

I believe I spent around $300-$350 for my entire setup, but I have room to upgrade if I chose, so I decided to go with a higher quality pump, radiator, etc. I've never been a huge fan of kits, I always prefer buying the parts and building it yourself.
