Help with choosing an AIO

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble deciding between these two AIO solutions. My case is the phanteks enthoo pro and currently has 3 140mm fans in the top. I plan to switch out 2 of them for either a 240mm rad or a 280mm rad.

I cannot decide which one is the better choice (i feel the larger one but I currently only own a single 120mm rad and am unsure about the benefits of slightly larger size)

These are them (both are the same price right now)

280mm provides more surface area for better heat dissipation. If you are willing to spend the extra price for a larger radiator, you should.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).
