Go to your local junkyard and grab a radiator out of a car. (joking)

 

What case do you have?

The H100i Pro would be a good fit. I would recommend mounting it to the top of the case.

Thanks so much for the help. First watercooling gear i buy so i really want to make the right decision :D been thinking about the i115H pro to but not sure it’s still like a 40€ diffrence in price. Buying the memory at the same time.

This thread might help you out:

 

The 115 has a bigger radiator, so it will have better cooling performance. I think that the 100 would be enough for your uses. I would recommend getting the H100i v2 though, as it has updated hardware and it's not a whole lot more.

 

There's also a H110i which has a thicker radiator but is the same price as the H100i v2. It's all pretty confusing.

Big enough to fit your case and budget. Corsair H100i is not bad.
