Think I am going to move this older H100i to my Mame arcade computer and do a few upgrades to it.

Want to do a better loop for my new 7700k. Think I am going to stick with a 240 radiator because I don't think my case will handle a 280 very well. Kinda want to keep the budget around $200. Is one of the XPSC kits pretty decent? Looking at one with the Ion Pump/Resi because it seems to be a decent size to fit in my case without much issue.

Where would ya'll look?

Yeah, a Raystorm kit from XSPC is decent. The Ion pump is perfectly fine for a low-restriction loop (i.e., one block and one radiator), but not if you want to expand your loop down the road to add a GPU block, extra radiator, etc.

EDIT: if your case has room for a 360 rad, you can have an alphacool ST 30. Coyote gave two of them to me years ago, and I'm replacing one with an EK Coolstream XE 480 on Wednesday. I also have a Raystorm block I'm not using.
