Looking for a good liquid cooler for my new system

[jscuz80]

So I've put together a list of parts for a whole new system, yet I cant seem to choose the CPU cooler. I was looking at air cooling, but think now liquid may be the answer as it gets real hot in the summers here and I was also planning on a little OCing in the future. So far I've got the Deepcool captain 360ex and the Fractal design Kelvin S36 picked out, Also the NZXT Kraken X62, But I was going for 360mm as I assumed it would provide more cooling. Basically I'm asking, What is a real good AIO cooler, maybe not the best, but close to the top in the list.

Thanks in advance.

H100i V2

I too would recommend a Corsair H100i V2. I'm about to upgrade to one myself. I've had the older H100 for about 4 years of 24/7 services, gaming and running multiple virtual machines. The pump is just now starting to make a little more noise than I like. But it will keep a CPU cool. I've stressed my I7-2600K @ 4.3 GHz using Prime95 and it will hold the CPU at 50C with only occasional runs up to 65C before it returns to its normal 50C. At idle my CPU temps are about 19C. At $100 for 4 years of service comes out to $25/year. Pretty cheap insurance for an expensive CPU and the cooler the CPU the longer it will last.

Kraken x52 or x62, quieter and cooler than the corsair.
