Which cooling should I buy?

Hi guys, I'm KNOW i need an aftermarket cooler because I checked my temps while gaming and it reaches 97 degrees celcius. I'm currently using the stock cooler. I don't plan on overclocking. Basically I've narrowed it down to 2 liquid coolers. The Corsair H60 and H100i. Is the H100i worth it if I'm not going to OC or is the H60 enough? What are the temps I should expect if I install them? And finally, can I put these coolers in another rig should I choose to upgrade? Here is my rig:

CPU - Intel Core i7 3770 @ 3.4 GHz
GPU - MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
SSD - Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
HDD - WD Blue 1TB
PSU - Corsair VS 650
Casing - Aerocool GT-R
Motherboard - ASUS P8Z77-M Pro
RAM - G. Skill Ripjaws X 8GB

H60 is enough for that processor if you are not going to Overclock. You are looking at 40s for idle and no higher than 60 c on full load.

Thanks for the reply. Can I remove the H60 and put it back in if I upgrade my CPU?

H60 is going to do everything you need. Honestly I traded my H100i to a friend and moved over to noctua air coolers, they work just as well, will last longer than an AIO and aren't at risk of leaking.
