CPU, Mobo, RAM, PSU are great.

Unless you need the water cooling setup, I'd get the Noctua NH-D14. It's cheaper and the performance is the same as the H100i, and the D14 is quieter. Many people that buy the H100i complain about fan noise or they remove the fans and install quieter ones. If you install quieter ones then you are gonna add around £20. So total would be £110.

possible going to cross fire, but i might just buy a better can later on in the year as the card is only a 1gb version but its great for what im playing atm.
i have been told that the noctua is a great cpu cooler i just have some problems with it, they are idiotic and superficial reasons but i just do not like the look of it what so ever, also i have seen tests that show the h100i surpass the nh-14 at certian clock speeds i was planning on replacing all fans in my pc with corsair sp120's.

Thanks for the input guys really helps alot.

How about Phanteks? Their coolers are equal to Noctua ones, while having 4 different colors to choose from. Reviews:

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Phanteks/PH-TC12DX/ ( best cooler at 50 bucks )
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Phanteks/PH-TC14PE/ ( NH-D14's direct competitor )

People who actually used it said that it's worse than the H100, mostly due to high noise level. Plus it's no good getting AiO water coolers anymore unless you really like how they look, since a new generation of air coolers with those Phanteks coolers included are showing greater performance for a lower cost.

sorry i didnt see your post up there aha, i would get a kraken but they are abit pricey im a student as of September so i have a budget aha.
Im in the same boat i prefer the look of the corsair, the reason i asked is that my next door neighbour runs a pc shop and he said he has problems with the corsair but i guess they have a warranty if something goes wrong il send them off.
can i just ask why you asked if i will be cross firing?
