Need Help picking out Water cooler+monitor for $1500-2000 gaming rig

Hello guys, 


I'm building a Gaming rig, and I need help picking out a water cooler and choosing between two monitors


My PC part picker list is: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yRNcmG


Which monitor should i get? Benq xl2420z or asus pa248q (And no I cant get both, I'm trying to keep this build under $2000) 


For the water-cooler,  I was originally going to pick the Corsair 110, but it isn't "compatible" with my case so I'm assuming it wouldn't fit or something (but I want to keep the current case I have on the list). My next choice would be the Corsair 100i but theyre both kind of loud so does anyone have a water-cooler that's a bit more quiet than the corsairs? 


Thanks!

Can you set the color to automatic or change it to something else? Nighttheme users can^t read it without highlighting it :)

I would never be able to game seriously without a 21:9 again. On content like movies the format fits to the screen so it's actually the same picture size of a 32" tv because you won't have the black bars.

 

Also another good power supply choice is the evga g2. That is 70 after rebate and it's just as good if not better. The difference being it's gold certified but I can't recommend it enough.

Dont understand what you want... its black on white. Try turning brightness down? That would help

I would suggest swapping the GTX 980 for a GTX 970. You get maybe 15% more performance with the 980 but you are paying a lot more. In fact you can get 2 x 970 cards for $70 more than that single GTX 980.

You can also get the EVGA Supernova G2 750W psu for $69.99 from Newegg after rebate. That is a very good price for an excellent psu.

The coolermaster Glacer 240L is a good water cooler. It will be noisy at full speed though (As would any cooler) but it performs very well.

Ouch, the cooler you recommended is even louder than the current one(looking for a quieter one), but thanks for answering! As for the PSU, the other one is platinum which is why its more expensive than the evga one. For the Graphics card, I guess its more sensible to just get the one you mentioned and do a 2way SLI

I know, I said the g2 was gold. But I just wanted to make sure you knew the pricing because you are paying another $40 for 1-2% efficiency. Which could go to two 970's instead of a single 980.
