Would I get better performance with a cheap water cooler like the Cooler Master Seidon 120V or with a air cooler for the same price?

The phanteks cooler is a good choice I have the 14 variant, the 140 fans are loud however. You've settled for the Corsair anyway so it's irrelevant haha. What are you cooling?

Cooler Master Seidon 240M for $70 on Newegg.com

 

Absolute best price to performance enthusiast cooling.

One thing to consider with watercoolers is that the radiator parts of the heatsink are firmly connected to the case. One thing I am always worried about with air coolers is the weight being supported by the motherboard. In my case, I travel alot and bring my desktop around. I used to worry that my big fat aircooler would break my motherboard.
