I would suggest reading through the watercooling sticky. However, seeing as you have a Corsair H80i listed, this isn't necessarily going to apply very much. Either way, the sticky has a lot of content that you might find interesting in order to make the best decision for your build.

Corsair liquid coolers are not really that good of performers and in order to do as well or better than good air coolers, you need to run the fans at very high speeds which also means they are quite loud.
