CPU overclock cooling

i plan on overclocking my 4690K not to any extreme values but still a significant amount. I'm stuck on what cooler to buy. I originally was going to buy a cooler master seidon 120v however after reading various reviews it seems to have a noise problem as well as not providing the best cooling. I'm currently looking at a corsair h100i, but does this provide a good performance to price ratio? The NZXT krakens seems quite interesting but still not sure.

 

I have a corsair 760t

Performance:

H100i < x41 < H105 < H110 < x61

 

But I have the H100i because I wanted corsair link. Performance is definitely not bad at all, and its not far behind the others.

Get X61, Swiftech H220, or the Option of the Money, Noctua NH-D15 or just a D14 if you can't spend over $80, it's performs slightly less than the D15, but way better than the H100i/110

kinda set on liquid cooling. does the performance of the X61 justify the additional price?
