The sealed water coolers like the X41 don't need a reservoir.
Also, with the 8-core chip, step up to the X61. You'll need the extra radiator size to deal with the heat.
 
I'm getting from cyberpowerpc they dont have a X61 only the X41, How about the 240mm Corsair Hydro H110 or 240mm Asetek 570LXL?
 
Just build yourself, you'll save a ton of money and you can get what you want
 
I have never build a computer before and i don't feel like messing anything up, I'm ordering it from cyberpowerpc and then im gonna order parts to build about 400 dollar back up pc.

It's so easy to do, even the first time. There are tons of guides out there and we'll be glad to help you through it.
Please, don't waste money.
 
Its easy... there are videos all over you tube on how to build a PC. Check them out! We will of course help too!

What is weird is you are willing to build a custom water loop out of the gate, but not build a PC. The water loop is clearly the most dangerous of the two activities for someone that is 'new'.

Personally, build it your own... grab an AIO cooler... then when you want to go custom water, do it. But if you can't/dont want to build your PC, IMO, you shouldn't be doing water cooling on it either.
