Okay, so I am planning to upgrade my computer soon as I would like to get a different case and I would also like to get a better cooling system to support overclocking in the future. I have a case and an all in one water cooling system in mind however I just wanted to get some feedback on said parts before I go ahead and purchase them, I will leave my system specifications below. The new case I would like to purchase is the NZXT H440, the reason for this is purely cosmetics and due to the sound dampening, unless there's a major issue with this case I do not believe there would be anything that would make me change my mind about it, the minimalistic design appeals to me. The all in one water cooler I had in mind is the Corsair H100i V2, it seems to be very popular and it does have some good reviews however if there is something that I could get for the same price point that would perform better I am open to suggestions, feedback will be appreciated, thanks.

 

My System :
Intel 4690K Processor
Asus Z97 Pro Gamer Motherboard
MSI GeForce GTX 970 Twin Frozr V Graphic Card
Corsair CSM 750W Power Supply
Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 850 Evo (250GB) Solid State Drive
Western Digital Black (1TB)
Western Digital Red (1TB)
Fractal Design Define R5

Well if you want the best get the EK Predator 240

 

But it is quite expensive but offers better performance and much more silent than any Corsair i seen

Thanks for the suggestion however that is way to pricey for me at the moment, I am looking for a cooler under one hundred british pounds.

Honestly there is no reason not to get the SilentiumPC Fortis 3 HE1425 in the UK. It cools like a $70 Cooler but costs 30 pounds. It should also be quieter at both idle and max speed than any AIO cooler.
