Good luck finding an H220 if you're in the US, they aren't being sold in the States anymore. The other 2 are a toss up, I'd go with whichever is the better price.

The Kraken would perform the best but is also the most expensive and the loudest with stock fans. Also, you have a USB connector to control the fan profiles and lighting of the pump part etc.

The H220 is not a 280mm cooler but a 240mm one. But nevertheless performs very close to the Kraken, is probably the most quiet one and is also expandable if you plan on going real watercooling in the future.
Unfortunately, finding and buying one is pretty much impossible right now.
And there is also an H320 available. But it probably won´t fit into your case...and won´t be available either if you are from the US.


The H110 is probably the one with the best bang for the buck (don´t know the pricing over there) but performance the worst. I´ve seen some reviews in which the H110 got beaten by the smaller H100i.


Another thing I noticed in your list: What do you need a 1000W PSU for? For that system even a 650W would be enough with some headroom left.

Thanks for the info. I am getting a 1000 watt psu because I plan on adding another 770 in January. I decided I might as well play it safe. Would you say EVGA is a good PSU brand?

Definately. Very good reputation.
Also, if you look at all the hardware reviews, most of the reviewers use PSUs from EVGA or Corsair.

1000W might still be a bit overkill, even for two 770s. But yeah, you are on the safe side. I get it. ;)
