Will this CPU cooling set up work?

Hey guys, I have a Cooler Master HAF 932 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-237-CM
Which has a rear fan which is 140mm and top fan of 230mm.

I have an LGA 1155 socket on my mobo and want to buy an all in one watercooling system, I have the Corsair H80 in mind - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-008-CS&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=2262 which fits the socket, but it has a 120mm fan. Would this still fit in my case?

Hmm, ok thanks. Are there any CPU water coolers you would recommend?

Ironically, I made a mistake and I don't actually have the H80. But I had the H80 in mind. I was thinking about a custom water cooling loop, but I am completely new to water cooling and it looks to be very expensive. And somewhat confusing.

If I buy an all in 1 CPU water cooler, like the ones you are suggesting. Is it an easy transition into a custom water cooling build once I get more accustomed to it?

Oh goodness. I don't think I can manage that lol. I can build myself a PC because that's easy as ****. But this sounds rather difficult.

I'll stick with an all in one lol.

Most likely Jeff's suggestion.

Well I don't really like the huge bulk on the good air coolers. I could get one but they are very obnoxious.

But if you know of any that aren't massive then I'd gladly look into it.

Well currently I have an i7 2600k at 3.7Ghz. But I'd like it to get to 4.5Ghz or so without excessive heat. And although my case (Cooler Master HAF 932) can easily accommodate a massive fan I just personally don't really want one.

awesome thanks, I'll look into the Noctua

Yeah I did see the Phanteck. Not sure which colour I'd like the most, probably red.

Quick question, when I put it on my CPU, should I just add a new layer of Thermal paste, or take off my thermal paste and reapply?

Yeah I do have low profile RAM. Also that's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure before I bought Thermal Paste remover.
