I am planning on building my first Gaming PC and can't decide whether to go Air cooling (Cryorig C1 cooler) or All-in-one cooling (H100i V2). If you can give me your opinion that would be great and any facts from personal experience would be great.
P.S. I plan on building in a Corsair Air 240 due to space constraints and possible moving when I go to college. I am cooling an Intel i7-6700k.

The Cryorig cooler you've chosen in your post is a top down cooler which is ideal for HTPC or cramped environments while the AIO you've also chosen is meant for cases that can accommodate 2x120mm fans side by side and often dictates you go for wide chassis's. Since you're inside a Corsair chassis perhaps build with a Corsair'ish theme to it or rather a color scheme. We're yet to learn of your components/full system's specs since the TDP of your processor(and any future overclocking endeavors) will dictate the cooler you end up buying.

The Air 240 is a MATX cuboid case, are you sure a Coolermaster N200 can'd do your job for this build and future prospect or perhaps an mitx build?
