I'm going to be swapping out my Cooler Master 212 Evo for an AIO, and probably upgrading my EVGA 1070 FTW to have its own AIO with the upgrade kit in the next year or so. To be fair, this is mostly for aesthetic reasons, since the 212 is fucking ugly. But then again, since I'm not exactly rocking a cutting edge PC, and my graphics card only has to support a couple of 1080p monitors, so I'm not really concerned about the performance either. I

I picked up some NZXT fans to go with my case (4 total) to keep the build consistent, and don't really see a reason to "upgrade" to Noctua. You're only talking about 1-2 degrees of performance when you're going above bargain level fans, and unless you're at risk of thermal throttling, you're not going to see any meaningful gains of performance.
