Here's My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LVBbyc

I was going to get the Cooler master Hyper 212 Evo but than I saw the corsair H100i and heard it was better. I have a corsair 750D case and I already got to corsair 140mm fans for the top so if I do get the corsair H100i than ill have to remove them and that's just a waste of money or is it? This is a first build but you can't go cheap on the CPU cooler that's for sure. Thank's

Ok what should I do with the 2 140mm cosair fans than lol I am on a budget and messed up already!!!

 
i have a 750d case myself and i own a hyper 212 cooler (pics if you click "build" in my signature)

the 212 is decent for the price. its better than the stock cooler but not as good as the h100 or other higher end coolers.

you might want to use the nzxt kraken x40 or x60 since its 140mm based. you can then use it with your corsair fan if you so wanted. also it has longer tubing so you would have more placement options.

for best cooling an intake from the outside is best which means front or bottom mounting. rear or top will give slightly worse temps but are a bit more convenient.

keep in mind that you dont "need" water cooling on your cpu. you can most certainly make do with a decent air cooler. the hyper 212 is considered a low end air cooler though and better options exist. if you went air then you wouldnt need to move your fans at all likely and it would be cheaper in price.

high end air = water cpu loops in cooling potential (generally speaking) but at less cost.
