Is an H100i a good option for under $100 on a 3570k?

As long as your case fits it yeah. I went from stock cooler to that and am very pleased with the results - doesn't go over 55*C while heavily gaming. Granted I'm using an i7 so my temps should theoretically be hotter.

Cooling System:

Front: 2x 140 mm or 3x 120 mm (3 x 120 mm FN V2 Fans Included)

Top: 2x 140 mm or 3x 120 mm

Rear: 1x 140 / 120mm (1 x 140 mm FN V2 Fan Included)

It will fit nicely, as above. Depending on the location of the radiator, you can have it either front or top. I recommend top due to it being closest to the CPU and thus more likely to have enough tubing to reach.

That's what i'll probably do
