I am looking for a liquid cooling kit for my gaming build. I'm not familiar with what kits are compatible with what. I'm not even sure if my build is compatible (Really hoping it is). This is my first build, and I can deal with fans for awhile, but I would love to upgrade to liquid cooling. I am putting a $100 CAD limit on it as i'm already at $585. Here is the build:

-AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6-Core 3.5GHz

Any of these three should work fine. The H80i will cool the best. If you don't want Corsair, then there are others that will do as well.

I'm using an H50 on a slightly overclocked 8120 and am currently showing a temp of 31-39C as I am doing this work and research
EDIT: I believe those prices are US$, you will need to shop from Canada or convert for the correct prices.
 
If that is your budget you should invest more into parts and not in a cooler but if you need a cooler the corsair h100i is great and ranges from 80-100 dollars. I got mine used in great condition for 40 on ebay
