I need to find a well performing water cooler for my i7-4930K for hardcore gaming/streaming and a little video editing might see some light overclocking in the future. I really want it to be as silent as possible and my price limit is around $130 for the cooler. Is this possible?

my build if you need it:

You have a compatibility issue. Step down to the Core i7-3930K, since it's no better than the Ivy Bridge-E counterpart and you'll need to update the bios to support the Core i7-4930K on that particular X79 board. Secondly, if you want a silent but well performing air cooler, keep the Corsair H110 but replace the fans with Corsair Static Pressure 140mm fans (labelled SP-140).

I would still like to keep the i7-4930k, can you recommend me a mobo that will work for it? I thought that there was a way to update the BIOS with that board. Im no enthusiast but would updating the BIOS be hard? I heard with these boards you needed to boot up BIOS somehow without the CPU... then update

Impossible. Without the CPU, the system wouldn't boot. This is a board that'll work with the Core i7-4930K out of the box -
