I just linked you an AIO for $50 (after $25 MIR) from Newegg, this thing is H800-H100 level of performance at $25-45 less.
Crap glad I stuck with the i7 3770k chip. Got it on a custom loop and I can push 4.9Ghz and keep it under 85C. Keeping it at 4.5Ghz to keep it at ambient + 10C.
Unless you wanna aim for 4.8GHz+ on Ivy Bridge there is no reason not to get haswell.
Haswell should handle 4.4-4.5GHz on most chips, which translates to 4.7/4.8GHz on Ivy Bridge.

@Notarget
I should have been more clear.
My point was at that price point he wasn't going to pick up anything that is a substantial upgrade over a 212 on the aio side. I have yet to encounter any AIO solution that I would deem as usable out of the box simply due to the fans they come with outright (unless i've missed a beat here) suck. The cooler you linked though is impressive and I do forget that in America not only are your base prices cheaper but you get stupid discounts on things on top.
Once again i'm curious the clock and vcore the OP is currently at, if the chip is a hungry bugger the jump won't be anything special (maybe an extra 200mhz) if the chip is good it could be night and day.

I've had great experiences with all in one liquid coolers. I use them in all of my builds and would recommend them.
That being said, $5 worth of quality thermal paste can shave 5* off your temps vs. the pre-applied stuff.
