As you can see buy the link dustin1706 posted, brands make very little difference in terms of performance.

Why the eff would someone spend $800 on watercooling.
He can easily get a system for under $400. That will work great. If he looks around for used gear he could spend even less.

Will be able to handle your setup w/ medium speed fans I'd think. People always under estimate how much a radiator can take if you crank up the fans.
