Picking a CPU Cooler i5 6500

[RileyJW]

Hey guys, I'm building my first computer from scratch, (the one i use now is just a minorly upgraded one I got from cyberpowerpc a while back) Anywho, I'm trying to pick out an RGB liquid cooler and I'm leaning towards the NZXT Kraken series. The thing is, I have NO CLUE which one to pick. Please note I am planning to upgrade this computer in the future, hopefully eventually to a i7 6700k and I don't want to have to upgrade my cooler with it and that's the root of my problems. Sorry that this post is really messy, I'm terrible at writing. Thanks for all of your help friends.

i5 will come with a stock cooler, so you can always put the decision off until later.
Personally, I like what thermaltake and corsair have to offer.

I'm aware but I'm not really concerned with the budget much, I'm more concerned with my aesthetic at this point in time.

Kraken x Series will do the trick. I am using a Deepcool Captain 360ex, but it is only red breathing LED, different looking though and very quiet.
Back to NZXT!!!! You will be able to control everything via Software with the CAM+ software. Get the NZXT Hue+ Strips and AER RGB Fans too, it will Sync it all together or let you have separate settings for it all. That's one of the best benefits about NZXT gear now.

Look at the High Performance ones. Pick which will match your fan setup, 1x120, 1x140, 2x140 (280), etc.

Good Luck!
