I was looking at the Swiftech as well, since we both have Quad Cores, go to the H20-220. With the bigger rad.. Better for Duals and Quads.

The bigger the radiator, the more surface contact there is for the fins to transfer heat... so a 220 rad is certainly going to yield better results..

If you're really looking for the lowest temps, then put the Rad outside the case using a radbox or something of the sort

EDIT: just saw that you have an Antec 900.. outside of the case is really your best option

With the cash you are talking about spending Ira has given a great set up. Close to your budget and sure to cool well.
