the h100i and the h100i GTX both have corsair link integration, but the h105 doesn't.
all of them are 240mm coolers.
the h100i is the best selling water cooler in the market.
the h100i GTX will perform slightly better then the h100i, but will be beat by the h105, as it is slightly thicker.
as of now, the h100i is at a great price, and if you can get a h105 for the same price, both are great options.

The H105 needs a bit more space than the other two as it has a 38mm thick radiator, it's also the only one out of those three that doesn't support Corsair Link. The radiator on the H100i and H100i GTX looks to me to be the same 27mm thick radiator, the H100i GTX just has a coloured insert. All 3 use different blocks, the H100i GTX also uses new technology inside the block and has different hose.

Personally, I don't like the design of the H100i GTX with the attached cables and the placement of them and it wouldn't be worth its price for me... but it might for you as it is the best performing out of those 3 units. The H105 performance is very close to the H100i GTX and is cheaper than even the H100i (atleast where I live), it's just whether you have the space above your motherboard to mount it and connect everything up properly. The H100i is still a really good performer, looks good and you don't have to have the Link cables attached if you don't want (unlike the H100i GTX).

Yes, I probably will go for the H100i and I believe I would have enough room for either radiator width (Obsidian 650D). Thank you for the assistance!
