It's time to retire my trusty old Lian Li PC60 Plus II. My gtx970 heat pipes are too wide so I can't fit the side 120mm fan anymore, my last few gpus have been too long so I had to take out the HDD bay, and I have a hodge podge of adapters and junk to fit my ssd. And it has old 80mm fans that are loud. And most importantly, there's no place to put an AIO cooler that I've decided my i7 would like to have. I like the looks of this Phanteks Enthoo Pro M or P400 case, and pcpartpicker.com says it fits the H110, presumably in the top area.
I am leaning towards the Corsair H110i 280mm AIO. It's cheaper than the H115i and I thought the slight advantage in cooling is worth the marginal price increase over the H100i. Are there any AIOs that are cheaper but similar performance? I would rather not piece together a custom water system, I've never had water before and always avoided it.
Is a 280mm going to fit where a 240mm normally would? Any good cases to recommend for the 280mm? Is a 280mm really going to perform better than a 240mm?
