Your choices are a little all over the place. First, determine the rad size. This is determined by your case and what placement options it gives you. For example, you may only be able to fit a 240/280 up top, but maybe a 360 up front. Determine the size you can fit where you want it to go.

That can't be determined with random rad sizes across different products. We can tell you generally which 280mm performs better than some other 280mm, but a DEEPCOOL 360, will probably outperform an Artic Freezer II 280, simply due to the larger rad, even though the Artic Freezer II, in general, is pretty much the best AIO in any rad size, compared to other AIOs of the same size.

Out of that list I would for sure get the Arctic 280. Its got a good warranty, good pump, phat rad, and it looks nice. I don't know about the RGB though.. that would be a personal preference I think. I would go for the black one myself..

 

I will probably try out the 280 or 360.. in a month or two.. probably the 280 because I am cheap.
