Hello, how are you?
I am putting together my first build, (approximately $2300) made for high-end gaming.
However, I can't find out whether the Corsair H100i CPU cooler, or the Cooler Master Nepton 280L is better... thoughts?
Thank you.

They are very similar in many respects, just remember the 280l is a 2x140mm rad and 100i is 2x120mm. Make sure your case will fit either one before purchasing.
I personally have not owned a 280l, But i have been extremely happy with the H100i on a couple of my builds. It does a great job and is dead quite.

Either one you choose I recommend you grab some aftermarket thermal paste like mx2 or AS5.
