hi I want the best looking watercooler, red, or blue led, but also the best performance

Most people would say the h100i, but I think thats boring so I would go for the H220x as that is also the better cooler all round.

I've got the NZXT X60 myself, it looks really nice and couldn't be happier with it. Using it on a 4770K atm.

The new NZXT aio cooler is X61 though, looks even nicer with the circling led lines.

Please don't recommend the H100i.  It has a big problem with its mounting harness.  It works for some people and not for others.  I cannot recommend a product that doesn't work for everyone.  The problem is with the mounting bracket, it doesn't provide enough contact depending on the thickness of that persons motherboard.  You have to do a Washer Modification to get it to work properly, and even then, doesn't work as well as it should for those who get it working right out of the box.

 

Nothing against you, just trying to spread the word.

No I wasn't recommending it, I was just saying most people would. I personally hate the h100i lol :P

I also live in the uk. If you are planning to overclock then either a H100i, H105 or H110 from Overclockers UK will be your best bet. If you are just wanting to have cooler temps then either a H80i, H80 or H60 should be enough. But if a budget one is needed a coolermaster seidion is only around £40, but i dont know how good they are.
