Hi all! So I am in the process of building my own PC and I'm having a ton of fun, but I've stumbled upon a happy issue.
I bought a fan cooler (212 Evo) early on in my part-acquirement stage. I was really confident with the purchase because I've heard numerous people talk about how reliable of a fan it it. However, one of my last build purchases was a case, which just so happened to come with a $60 Corsair liquid cooler for free as a gift!
So I'm currently debating which one I should pursue. After researching online, I've read about the liquid being harder to install and adding an increased danger factor to the system due to leaks/pump failures, and I've read that fan noise can get annoying. I was just wondering if you guys had any thoughts on what I should do.
Thanks for any advice!

Addendum:
For anyone who may want to know the actual coolers, it is the CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler - Intel Only (CW-9060006-WW) vs. Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120mm PWM Fan
