I am looking for some really good coolers for my 4790k and I am on the edge of three currently.

 

Swiftech h320 x2 prestige                          214.95$

EKWB Predator 360 v1.1                           239.99$

EKWB SLIM 360 water cooling kit              219.99$

 

Based of these prices which one is truly better?

the EKWB one is probably better ( and i dont really like the look of the swiftech one), and you can get other parts from them to expand it (not sure about swifttech). 

 

The difference between those two EKWB ones is one has a slimmer radiatior, so its fits easier and is thinner overall, but that also means it has less surface area for cooling (less performance).

Also, thicker radiators may require faster, louder fans to get best performance.
