CPU Water Cooler

[ticoq1w2e3r4]

Hey everyone, i'm thinking in get a water cooler, more precisely the Corsair H55, but i don't know if fits my case, a masterbox lite 3 from CoolerMaster. I want to get a water cooler because i don't wanna be worried about the cpu temperature at all. You guys think that the cooler will fit? And more importantly, is the water cooler necessary or it's gonna be a little exaggerated? Links for both cooler and case down below:

Budget Air Coolers perform better than the H55.

I'm new on this cooling thing, can you explain me why?

they're just not as efficient at transferring heat, as people think they are - look at any of the cooler comparisons and it's hard to find more than a 1C degree benefit with a high end 240mm water cooler over a quality air cooler, especially the noctura DH-15.

When you factor in the complexity, risk of leak, pump failure (which more than a few folks seem to suffer at the 1 year mark) & pump noise, it's just hard to justify over the simpler air coolers, imho
