What is the best AIO water-cooler for $120 or less?

I want to get a 240mm water cooler (I can't get any bigger than that), but I'm new to using AIO coolers. What is the best one in terms or reliability, performance, looks, etc.?

I'm currently thinking about getting the H100i because I like the looks (with the LED and the whole thing), but I want to know if there is any better AIO water cooler.

The H100i is pretty darn good. Otherwise, look at the Corsair Seidon 240m and the Raijintek Triton.

Sig under construction.

Corsair H105 or Corsair H100i GTX are the 240mm coolers that stand out to me ATM. I know CoolerMaster has some 240mm offerings as well.

Intel Core i7-5820K (4.4 GHz) | Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming | Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB  | 2x 360mm Custom Loop (Noctua iPPC) | ASRock X99 Extreme6 | Samsung 840 EVO 250GB | Fractal Design Define S | Corsair HX750 | Windows 10 | Corsair M65 RGB PRO | Corsair K70 RGB LUX (CherryMX Brown) | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro & Creative Sound Blaster Z | Nexus 6P (32GB Aluminium) | Check out my setup: Project Kalte Here!

Cooler Master Nepton 240M for $100

 

Hands down the best price:performance:noise:reliability.

 

No need to replace the stock fans, as the included ones are incredibly high end.  The pump is nearly silent, unlike many other AIOs, and it has a nice white LED.

 

If adding this AIO to an LGA1150 motherboard, definitely avoid the H100i as it has a lot of mounting problems.

The "best" is a bit subjective, but my guess would be the Raijintek Triton. Great performance, incredibly awesome looks, cheap price, and option to re-use it in a custom loop (if you ever need it... for some reason.......)

I got my h105 for less than $120 and have been very happy with it ever since. Just check case compatibility for a 38mm thick radiator and another 25mm for a set of fans or 50mm for 2 sets in push/pull.
