It all depends what temp your room is at.  If your room is cool and you open a window, your temps will drop and the liquid will be cooler thus providing better temps.  Now if you have room for a 360mm then go for it, but the difference is minute compared with a 280mm.  Also your fan speeds matter, you have to find the sweet spot where the comp is silent but still providing exceptional cooling.

Room is cool. The rad I liked was the h100i se because of my white theme but if a 360 is better I will just paint the h150i.

It's easier for me to just get the se because I'd rather not void my warranty.

Stick with the h100i and see how your temps are.  I recommend setting the fan speeds to 650 to 750rpm and you will have a quiet system and you can have a max overclock.  Just don't abuse the CPU by running crappy synthetic tests like Prime95.  I recommend using Aida64 stability test and if your temps are in the 70's then your fine.

I mean if it's close I dont mind going with the h150i I mean I'll be putting the rad on the side so you can't see the rad and I'll just buy the ll120 fans to make it look the same. Awell as cover up the black tubes. You know how you can hide the rad on the other side of the case I'll put the rad there and no one will see it. They will just see the fans, do think that would work?

What do you mean by on the side ?  You either put it in the front or the top of case.  Im confused by what you mean by putting it on the side ?  The side where your case door is ?

I would use the fans on the side door panel as intake.  You can't mount your AIO on the side and Im guessing the fans on the side are 120mm or below which means they will not fit with 140mm.  If you set your Rad on the side as intake the inside of your case is going to get very hot.  You need to exhaust the heat out of the case.

I guess I'll just put on the top. I'll have to live with it being black but that's ok.

Yes put it up top to push air towards the Rad and exhaust out the warm air, also this way will keep your case temps very cool.
