I wanna build a beast gaming rig, and I wanna put it into a thermaltake p5 case, but it doesn't look that good without a reservoir and a quad rad. I wanted the EKWB but its farely expensive even when set to the cheapest( I managed to get a good 300dolurz WC), but my future PC will be about 2300 dolurz sooooo 300 will be kind of a problem. I have to choose between awesome RGB case with custom WC or a normal case but with beter components(32gigs of ram vs 16... etc.)
Don't you know some cheap high quality WC with quad rad and a reservoir???
thanks in advance.

All comes down to what you'd spend the money on other wise. Usually (damn near always) the answer is no it's not worth it. A $85 air cooler will hit 5.0ghz. a $300 customer loop **might** hit 5.1-5.2 if you also got a lucky chip draw. That $200 difference can buy you more ram, better GPU, better board, bigger ssd or a faster SSD all if which would be more noticable​ difference than a potential 100-200 MHz difference. Heck for the price difference you might could build a 6800k setup instead of a 7700k
