I, too, am running an SG05 with an AiO water cooler. The Antec Kuhler 620 to be exact. Do keep in mind that if you are using a rad on that front fan it will either be horizontal shortening the possible length of your GPU or it will be vertical and you can't use the suspended bracket for the CD drive or 3.5" drive bay. So using a 620 with a 3.5" drive means I currently have my HDD suspended from the PSU. I went with the 620 over a Corsair H-series for the flexible tubes, since I'm not a wizard. I have seen some people do great things with H-series though.
Also, double check the mobo layout before going with the Kuhler. I found out as I was building it that some mobo components had a bracket on the underside that interfered with the 620's mounting bracket. I managed to get it all to work, but it was frustrating and slightly jury-rigged.
For air coolers, there are a couple heasinks that may work. The Scythe Big Shuriken comes to mind and the Prolimatech Samuel 17 but that may be discontinued?
