i would say a Rasa RS240 Wc kit in place of H100 add another 30$ andits would be future proof and a lot better then the H1oo. the only reason i avoid H1oo is there are many cases of Leakages around and corsair is not always replacing it so i would better say go with a RS240 for 130$ or a D14 for 80$
