What's the AIO water cooler for me?

I'm currently looking at the Corsair H110i GT, because of what I've heard about it (and I like the LEDs on Corsair coolers). Are there any other coolers that I should consider getting, or should I stick with the H110i GT (preferably with an LED and good cooling)?

Important (?) Specs:

Corsair 350D (supports 280mm radiator)

Intel i5 4460 (LGA 1150)

ASRock H97 Pro4

My brother has an H110i GT and he's had no problems with it so far. Although I do wonder why you're getting such a beefy cooler for a CPU like i5-4460, since it can't overclock.

i also agree with the people above,  just get an air cooler,  something like the EVO 212  should be fine.  no need for water cooler

but you guys are forgetting that maybe he will get a better cpu in the future and he might want to overclock, its no good saying "get a random air cooler" because if he spends money now on a low end cooler, then hes having to spend more in the future to buy a high end one. i wouldnt go water though, get an air cooler like the noctua nh-d14, nh-d15 or cryorig r1 ultimate.

That's what I had in mind at first, but he has an H97 board, so even if OP got something like a 4690K or 4790K, he still wouldn't be able to overclock (AFAIK), unless OP plans on getting a new motherboard as well.

I would check the NZXT X61 and get whatever it's cheaper, i doubt the performance difference will be big since both are basically asetek's design, and both have software and RGB lights in their pump/water block
