I have one r9 290x bf4 edition graphics card. And like already everybody knobs it gets loud and hot as hell. So I decided to buy a cooler for it. I do not care if water or air cooled as long as it does the job.
I would be very greatful if somebody would help me with my problem and tell me some recommendations.

My case is a Bitfenix Shinobi.
Earlier I got recommended this one:

Yep u need to combine them:) well id go with nzxt and corsair water cooling just because you know:p and it will be probably cheaper than that cooler:) you can check the temps and see whats better...i though about doing that g10 + h55 combination for my 290x but the asus cooler is doing just fine with max temp of 72C on shadow of mordor :)
