3. Corsair H80i $99.99

I am currently using an Antec 1200 case but am thinking of getting a new case and selling the Antec 1200.
The runners up for cases are as follows.....

1. NZXT Phantom 630 $169.99
2. NZXT Switch 810 $157.48
3. Cooler Master Storm Stryker $159.99
4. Fractal Design Define XL R2 $134.29
5. BitFenix Shinobi XL $159.99
6. IN WIN GRone $129.99
7. Thermaltake Armor Revo $189.99

Thanks for opinions and truths. Also feel free to ask questions if need be.
 
Not only does the H220 perform better than any of the AIO coolers in your list, it has something none of the other have.... expandability.

As far as the case goes, almost everything on your list has a review done on it right here at overclockers. Start reading and see which one has what you need.
 
4. Fractal Design Define XL R2 $134.29

Currently on sale at Microcenter 89.99 Link

At that price - figure it is a no brainer.

Water cooling:

3. NZXT Kraken X60 $149.99
4. Thermaltake 2.0 Extreme $139.99
5. Swiftech H220 $139.99

Would think that the Swiftech H220 would be a great choice. The Kraken X60 is another good choice. The Thermaltake seems solid as well....
 
I'll recommend the Define XL R2 that dudley suggested. I have it now and it's fantastic. I'd either go with the H220 for the aforementioned expandability that you may end up wanting, or the Kraken X60, as both as good options.
 
tomshardware has some good reviews, as does this site. I went from a CM Hyper 212 Evo to m Corsair h100i. Its been great.
