Noctua nh-d15, cryorig r1 ultimate or a nzxt kraken x61 or x52 if you can find one cheap. 

 

I wouldn't get a corsair aio because every person I've known to have one has failed and the fans are shockingly loud.

Also if you look on places like gumtree or eBay you can pick up a gtx 1080 for £400.

Use HW monitor for temp monitoring, aida64 and cinabench for stresstesting (aida has free trail anyway). I would highly suggest you enermax Liqmax II 240. I was blown away with Enermax quality for under 80$ AIO. Cooler is silent under 70-80% speed, batwings are doing great job with static pressure. I overclocked friends 6600k to 4.7Ghz, and after 3h aida64 temps were under 55c.. Other AIO that are 2 or 3 times more expensive, can give you around 51-53c in same testing method..
