Custom loop is going to provide the best cooling available (by only an extra couple degrees). Custom water-cooling is also extremely expensive to get into and takes a ton of patience to rig up. As long as your gpu isn't running too hot (which the 290 usually doesn't) i would advise you to pick up a closed loop cpu cooler.

Wow, wait so you're running that hot on a h100? There's got to be something wrong with either your cooler application, or your motherboard. I would recommend getting a sabertooth like you said.
I am currently waiting on my friend coming home from spain as i didnt have any thermal paste and he had some arctic silver 5 and he said he would lend me some to try and see if it fixes my cpu, hopefully it helps even a tiny bit at least, and as for my gpu, its a reference r9 290, and is known very well to run at 95degrees and that causes me isses of locking up when it goes higher, it sounds like a jet, etc
Also the cost isnt a masive issue aslong as its kept as low as necessary, but i have been in the pc game a while and i know what to expect when buying new parts, and i can setup the loop without too much hassle as i have my dad who has 15 years experience and even a local pc shop that my dad speaks to alot so i can go in and im sure they would help me out
Thanks
