For reference your case can fit CPU coolers up to 160mm in height. This would fit nicely and is a great performer. FWIW 4.6Ghz isn't too hard on most chips and will not need high-end cooling like a dual-tower 140mm or a 280mm radiator closed loop.

Here is an example of what you need :
That is the NZXT KRAKEN X31 AIO water cooler and would fit seamlessly into your case.
Air cooling as described is OK, but for the higher OCs this is the way to go.
I think around $75 and has fan controller.

I'm pretty sure the Noctua NH-D15 is the best cooler under 100$ as of today's prices (that is under 40db). It even gives my 160$ swiftech 220x2 a run but loses by about 3-4C. Them cheap AIO's are not about pure performance. So if your looking for straight performance then I would go with the NH-D15.

or you can go with the CRYORIG R1 Ultimate that is about 1C better under load but has higher db.
To beat the top aircoolers with a AIO you would need to get in the 240/280mm rad range and unless you get a black Friday sale I do not see you getting that for under 100$

The problem I've found with big air coolers (like NH-D15) is thatthey don't really fit windowed Nano S. At firts, I was planning to go with be quiet Dark Rock 3, but despite being 160mm in height, it doesn't fit the case bacause of it's fan.
What would be a good water option? I like those:
Corsair H60 (enough?)
Corsair H80i
Corsair H90
NZXT x31 (how good temps would it deliever?)
NZXT x41

One thing is for sure AIO water cooling is better than air and how good it performs depends on the OC and extraction fans you have. The Corsair H90 is also a good unit but no fan control. H60 not good enough.

I haven't checked all the in-depth specs but I think the NZXT. Check the CFM ratings and if you want a quiet unit with adjustable fan control then its the NZXT.

As I already said, Arctic liquid outperfroms other AiO.
here is smaller one
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2016/02/11/arctic_cooling_liquid_freezer_120_aio_cpu_cooler_review/#.V3_-V44vp8c
and here is a bigger one
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2016/03/09/arctic_cooling_liquid_freezer_240_aio_cpu_cooler_review/#.V3_-WI4vp8c
They also cost less.

I'd like to mount the radiator to the front of the case and bigger radiators will prevent me from mounting longer (triple fan) graphics cards, so I might just go with x31 since it cools fine, is cheap and allows me to mount longer Graphics card.

The X41 has 42.4-106.1 CFM and Nano Bearing
The X31 has 81.32 CFM (max.) and Hydro Dynamic Bearing.
The X41 is best and worth the extra. imho.
