i have it mounted at rear of the case sucking new air in and 2 frount fans pushing air out and a 200mm fan on top push air 

try switching the back fan to out and the front to in, that should fix your problem

and also turn the 200mm intake around, the normal way of heat is going up but now its pushed down in the case again.

I would say always get water cooling over air cooling.

an h60 is about on par with a hyper 212 evo in most situations .....and for the cost you could buy a decent phanteks,thermalright,noctua heatsink.....so yeah don't always buy water cooling,especially if it's AIO.
