So after scouring the internet for hours yesterday I'm just curious as to what everyone on here thinks is the best for cooling your CPU. I have a I7-3930k and Rampage IV X79 mobo, my case is debatable due to me upgrading rather soon but currently its a HAF-X. I'm a gamer and nothing else of the sorts, I enjoy gaming + I do tend to mess around in Blender, so there's that, but all I do 99% of the time is game and I'm upgrading to water cooling, so what is the best possible cooling I can get for under £120? I was thinking H100i.

I'm a little technically ignorant so excuse my stupidity if you bring up a topic I'm unsure off!

Edit*: I forgot to add! I'm buying a 780 soon should I get a hydro-copper?

Is the H100i the best? Or is it personal preference as to what you call the best from there on up?

to upgrade from H100i you'll have to get a water loop and you'd be looking at 200-250$ which is 100-150$ more than H100i

You guys will probably hate me while reading this but my current cooler is Noctua NH-D14 and I just hate it, it looks so ugly in my case I dislike it so much so I've been looking for a cooling solution that bests it but I'm having real issues.

It looks great and I see you were actually searching for the 3 fanned version haha, but I'm finding it hard to justify adding an extra £40 for something that's reported failure + -2 temps compared to the H100i, it might just be my ignorance holding me back here so I will look into this one more while people give me more answers!

getting the h220 or h320 will be a waste of money, you don't have a superclocked system or the most expensive hardware, getting h100i is more than enough to cool down your setup and future setups

Alright I'll settle on a h100i unless someone gives me a better option, man I would really like one of those setups with the transparent tubes everywhere with fluorescent green liquid flowing through them making my comp look like something from the future. :p
