You should probably prioritise performance over looks, but probably the best looking one with great performance would be the Dark Rock Pro 3

the cryorig r1 ultimate is apparently really good performing as well as having nice looks

Replace the fans with their cheaper series?

they look bad as well lol. Noctua aren't the only good manufacturer that has good cpu cooling options.

They're quiet, and very well performing. They're also pretty cheap(ish). They sell the NH-D14 for around £65, and I've sorta grown to like their looks :S
