So I have a i5 3570k and I'm going to be running two GTX 660 ti in SLI mode, I'm looking to also install a corsair water cooler. Does anyone have any recommendations. Also taking note that I have a corsair 80 plus bronze TX750 watt psu.

H100i is better overall. Not much price difference, I think. Noctua NH-D14 is an air cooler but it is actually really good, it competes with high-end liquid coolers.

NOTE: With all CPU coolers I mentioned, first check if they fit in your case before purchasing.

Weird because the H100i is $20 cheaper than the H100.

Yeah, it maybe because the H100i is newer and thus stock is readily available as opposed to the older H100 that is scarce. Just get the H100i if you want top-end water cooling and disregard the H100.

You could save $15 by opting for the $129 H80i or you could get the Noctua NH-D14 for $55 less than the H100i. The choice is yours. As is mentioned, just check if it fits into your case. If you have a full tower or a large mid-tower, it should be big enough.
