or is their a better one for around 100 to 160

You probably:
A)Just need to replace the thermal paste and pads on the card
B)Fix your airflow situation
C)A combination of A and B
D)Do nothing, because there's nothing wrong with 80C on that card.


To custom cool a gpu, you need:
-a water block that fits(check compatibility!)
-pump and reservoir, or a pump/reservoir combo
-a radiator and fans - don't just go out and get the cheapest rad and fans you find; they need to be 'compatible'
-tubing to connect the water block to the pump & reservoir/combo
-fittings - 2 for each piece in the loop. A drain valve would be lovely
-premixed coolant, or distilled water + biocide
-to have done your homework on the matter; do not dive in blind

To cool a gpu with an AIO, you need:
-a kit. NZXT's Kraken G12 is one of the more popular kits of only a couple(?)
-a compatible radiator. The Kraken G12, for example, is only compatible with units whose OEM is Asetek; the mounting system is fortunately, universal across the different generations
-to do your homework here too. It's not as much as the custom one though.


There's also custom air cooled solutions, like Arctic's Accelero Extreme and Rajintek's Morpheus.

Yep, 100% correct response, here.

Custom watercooling blocks like the one linked are just blocks. They are not AIO-like units - you need ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL the other parts Phaaze88 listed above as part of a custom loop . Much assembly required.

Custom cooling a graphics card is only worth it if you want to quiet down your card cooling and maybe get slightly better and more consistent frame times. It is so prohibitively expensive for most because with the cost of the hardware you'll be better off going to the next tier card up and undervolting it.

80c isn't uncommon though.

The watercooling eqipment will cost you more than twice as much as your gpu. I would stick to replacing the thermal paste,clean the heatsink and undervolt the card.
