Would you rather have GTX 980 and NZXT Kraken x61 or GTX 980Ti and CoolerMaster Hyper 212X?

I can purchase both, but idk which would benefit me. Would like AIO in my system ofc, but better GPU is better GPU haha

My CPU is 6600k and case is Phanteks enthoo evolv atx

980ti and 212. 212 is still a decent cooler.

In all honesty I would go for 980 and X61 for aesthetics because to me aesthetics>performance

But other then that 980Ti and Hyper 212X is a good option. Skylake is a great overclocker so you will be able to get decent overclock out of it
