well the L is for low profile radiators, X is for thick radiators, the number is for the size. if you want something that should directly compete with the 100i GTX get the L240.

 

If you want something than beats it go with either the X240, L360, or X360. but regarding the 360mm options, iirc that means you sacrifice most if not all of your HDD mounts.

I recommend the bigger ones, you could fit it at the top and save dem drive cages. I also suggest going Slim because there is not a big enough of a difference in Temps to warrant the thicker radiator

Is this your first PC build or are you experienced?

If the former, then I'd forego custom water cooling at this point. If the latter, then the general rule of thumb is to fit the largest rad you can fit (within reason).

Stay away from a custom loop then. Build the PC first, which can be scary enough the first time without water in your system. Get used to building and get comfortable, then you can think about water cooling.

If you have the space, I also recommend a Noctua NH-D15. An absolute beast of a cooler and the installation is a breeze.

Yea, don't do it for your first build.  I put a 60mm thick rad in mine, and holy crap the 760t and the motherboard with the CPU power do not want to co-operate.  I had to buy new screws just to screw it in place.  Even with a kit you can have things go wrong.
