That is a solid build but i would probably go with a single 8 gig stick of ram for expandability in the future.

And if you're going to be overclocking the processor then keep that cooler but if not then a 212 evo would do just fine. It would handle a bit of overclocking as well, but not near as much.

Also that PSU should handle that system just fine, but you may wanna upgrade it to 550 or 600 watt, just so you don't have to buy another one in the future if you upgrade the gpu.

Inevidable, the problem with single stick is the your ram wont run at dual channel speed which is faster then single channel. The hyper 212 evo almost dones the same amount of work the h100i. And the psu I recommended is the best for the money.
