So i have an intel i7-4790k, but using stock fan to cool it for now, so i thought of buying the Cooler Master 240M pre-filled water block, found it for about 45$ (new). But one problem is that my case (yes its a cheap one ....) does not have a top exhaust, and have only one place for a 120mm fan in the back. Now they say that i have 2 places for a 120mm in the front, but i still didnt open the front cover, and i cant see how the pipes are going to get to the front of the case ..
Or if i could somehow manage to place the block inside the case ...

Now i have 2 other options, get a single 120mm water cooling pre-filled water block, or get an air cooler, like the Cooler Master V8 (for about 35$).
 
Solution
look at eh case inside hight in mm and then go for a air cooler that fits. the newer intel cpu run fine on air coolers the best part the only part that can fail is the fan and is a cheap part to replace.
