Original HAF 932 needs AIO
Hi guys n gals, I've got an original HAF 932, and I'm going to put in an 8350.. maybe a 20 if I'm wasting my time trying. I need the best AIO (i don't know how/can't afford good custom) that will fit into the 932. Preferably not super loud, but I can change the fans if it's worth it. I wanna hit as close as i can to 5.0Ghz.

Board and RAM rec's also welcome, have been noticing the sabertooth 990fx rev2 i was planning to get has caused many ppl issues with 1866 RAM.

Thanks :) 

P.S. Those are the main 3 parts; 1x(CPU,RAM,MOBO) I need to make 2 complete rigs, the only thing left is the cooling solution for the 8350. I'll go serious cool, don't be shy ;) 

P.P.S. My GPU is an XFX 7970 DD which dumps heat mostly DIRECTLY into the case, so innovative solutions might make it cooler, but then there are the sensitive mobo parts... sigh i dunno

Indeed, we think somewhat alike judging from the parts... and googling reviews of everything lol. What do you think if the CM Nepton 140xl? I'd prefer a Swiftech H220-x or better, but they're tough to come by in canada. $50 slow shipping, no thanks :)  I like mushkin, haven't been able to use mine properly thanks to the 965 memory controller... which leads me to my new quandary, intel 4690k/4790k for "some" future proofing. Cooling would be the same.
I like thi s RAM for amd:

Y do they hardly ever give you a straight answer on board power phases, always gotta dig into reviews...
but now that I'm thinking intel, higher mhz faster timings, opposite of intel, more research.

For cooling could you look at these,
http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/be-quiet-cpu-cool...
still got some aircooling in,the be quiet is a very good cooler for that price,may be a pain to install->read some reviews.

For a motherboard,

again read some reviews and see whether you think it's necessary to spend so much more on the asus.The asrock would be my choice between these two.

For ram,

two times 2x8gb and two times 2x4gb.Kept an eye on low latency's and nice fast enough ram.Kept an eye on colors a bit too,a bit "my thing".
Another nice 2x4gb set i noticed,

Another maybe nice 2x8gb set,

When in doubt read a review,google is your friend. ;)
