I would go the Thermaltake Big Water Cooling Kit (that's its name). It offers alot of performance for thge price. Only about $40-$50 more than a XP120 and offers better performance and you can cool your GFX aswell. It also works better if you live in hot clim ates where the air is hotter and air cooling is has less performance.

As I look at the snow outside I can guarantee that the climate will not adversely affect the cooling.
