Hyper 212 vs H100i appearence

I have a really complicated thought process on my builds upgrade

 

First of all, im going to get a define r5 case which comes with white fans, im selling my asus mobo for an msi krait z97 mobo, buying a gtx 970 g1 from gigabyte, replacing the leds from blue to white on the windforce logo, and going to attempt to get my hands on some custom cables, after that it should be a good looking white and black build

 

But where is the CPU cooler?

 

Well, I want to buy a corsair AIO so that it looks better (it even has a white LED!) but it doesn't perform that much better and its louder. Just wandering what I can do, it cost way more with not much performance increase, but looks amazing. Also the noise is a problem, if I use silent fans, will it impact the performance event further? I mean just the cooler alone doesn't perform much better than a hyper 212 (current cooler) so adding worse fans in would be silent but worse... really annoying.

 

But I think i'll buy it, just for the look. This PC wont be the same without it, everything else will be perfect. Even the case has nice white accents on the HDD bays, im very excited

 

So I suppose my question is what should I do about my CPU cooler?

NCIX did it but please cover the heat spreader. (They didn't)

I would go for a cheaper AIO like a nzxt cooler.

If you want both looks and performance, Phanteks is one to go for. They are like Noctua, bit less recommended and maybe bit more noisy. But for looks they have much better options. Like blue coating for dual tower and white for single tower.
