Hey guys so I don't think my pc can fit a 240mm cooling system or anything bigger I mean you guys could maybe help but if it cant fit can I just remove part of my case and have it like a bit ghetto? You guys are the masters my case is the logisys cs368bk I have an intel i7 4790k and a gtx 970. I would love if you guys could help though during gameplay I get up pretty out 80c and Im using the tx3 air cooler and I just think my cpu deserves better but is it worth just buying a single fan radiator?

Do you want an AIO cooler? I strongly recommend your DO NOT buy a single rad AIO cooler, it will be a waste of money. That case doesn't have dual rad support. Buy a high end air cooler and you will be fine. I recommend a noctua, but there are other good ones.

You will be able to overclock with a good air cooler. This air cooler is significantly better than the tx3. http://noctua.at/en/products/cpu-cooler-retail/nh-d15

Yeah that should work fine. Water cooling is great, but your case only supports single rad coolers. Single rad water coolers are not all that great, and get outperformed by good air coolers such as that one.
