Help with water cooling

So I didn't quite know where to put this thread. But I'm building a new PC in the near future and would like some advise on picking between a Noctua NH-U14S cooler or a water cooler.

I would go with air cooling but the bulk on the motherboard is a bit of a eh for me, especially with --ugh-- noctua fans (I know they're the best but they look like shit) so what should I go with? and what water cooler would be good should I go with water cooling?  

 

any advise is appreciated :)

Are you planning a custom loop or to get a AIO?

First we need to clear something out - are we talking AIO or full loop?

 

*too slow!*

All in one. Also worth saying its CPU cooling haha.

If i should pick one, primarily on appearance, i would choose the Corsair H110i GT. Looks really good imo ;)

I personally have a Corsair H110i GT and I don't have any complaints with it at all. Perfect cooling, no noise and it does look sweet :)
