Either h100i or x61, I wouldnt go with an AIO though. I would get a Noctua cooler like the u14

Cheap AIOs are not worth it IMO. An air cooler for the same price will perform better while being more silent

This...

 

Ask yourself why your wanting to water cool.

 

Performance- then get a noctua d14 or d15, they will match most decent->good AIO with a fraction the noise.  

Aesthetics- Im partial to the dark rock 3 or pro 3...  but Cryorg makes some good looking coolers too. 

Noise-A good air-cooler will beat mos AIO...  you need a good pump to see the silence benefits and not many AIO would fit that.

Cost-  Air coolers win again!

Cool factor-  Yes its noval and people may remember that you water cooled, but unless they are enthusiasts themselves they will not appreciate it.

Maintenance- Air-cooler set and forget VS AIO always wondering if it will leak, and more points of failure

Repair- Fan on Aircooler breaks get a new fan.....  Pump on AIO breaks get new AIO

 

Unless your looking at a dual 140mm rad AIO I wouldnt go AIO

Why four 1TB HD's??   That sounds very noisy!  

IF you can get a min 250GB SSD, otherwise you will have to manage it pretty closely.

You have a 380 GPU with a 6600K CPU...  You do not need to squeeze performance out of the CPU.  Get a EVO 212 and but the extra $80-90 to get a 390

Why would Corsair make its most popular AIO not compatible with LGA1151 socket?

 

Don't bother with 120mm rad AIOs.

wait sorry correction guys its 380x not 380 n the 390 is a huge jump here in india. the 380x is like $360 n the 390 is like 550 bucks so thats not a choice but since the 600k doesnt come with a stock cooler i want a liquid cooler to be able to overclock it
