Solution
Very overpriced and not the best performance. Take a look at the Noctua NH-D14. Best air cooler out there pretty much. If it will fit in that microATX case, it will be amazing.
I would not get an h100i. Everything else looks very good. Some things like RAM and CPU are overkill for gaming. An i5 and 8gb RAM would perform the same. But, if you want to go ahead and spend the money, it couldn't hurt for games way out in the future. Games will likely never use more than 8gb RAM, but hyper threading may get used more in the next 3-5 years.
 


Use a front intake, one rear exhaust and ONE top exhaust on the furthest back slot. If you have an air cooler (blows from front to back) you do not want to steal its air with a top exhaust fan in the front slot.
