price? Nope, top tier air cooler is 2x or more than lowest AIO.
performance? Top tier air cooler is not only better than lowest AIO but better than even mid / high AIO.
Top Tier air cooler like the Noctua NH-D15 can out perform ThermalTake Water 3.0 Ultimate (360mm radiator!)

The only way I see how water cooling can beat air-cooling, is to go custom WC of which each CPU waterblock costs more than the AIO system itself.
That's just waterblock, haven't consider the pump, radiator, fans, tubes, coolant and fittings.
