What cooling should I get?
I'm considering water cooling and have two options in mind: the EK-KIT P240 or the Corsair H100i V2. I'm not very experienced with building computers, but I believe I can manage to create a custom loop if I follow the instructions. I'd be willing to spend more if it means improving my build's appearance. I'm also curious about the temperatures it would handle.

Predator shows better performance than Swiftech when tested at 220/240 rads. It is more expensive, but both models share the same Laing pump and are expandable.
What exactly are you aiming to achieve before proceeding? I'm asking this since most individuals won't gain value from water cooling unless they're attempting an extreme overclock, which requires specific expertise. Otherwise, you might be wasting your investment.
I'm planning to heavily overclock my CPU. What model are you using?
I do not really see a point past 4.6 might want to take a look at

expensive air coolers can do just as good as liquid cooling and for cheaper.
That's the type of person who enjoys giving their computer a cool, edgy look.
