If I can make a suggestion, I'd change the balance of your system so you can get a better GPU (assuming that you are building this system for gaming). You have picked amazingly high quality parts, but the GPU is just average for playing today's newest titles on ultra settings. If you have the budget, upgrade to at least a GTX770. If you are already maxed on your budget, I would go so far as to make changes in your part selection in order to upgrade the GPU.

Things I would consider in order to get a better graphics card would be:
-downgrading the motherboard to something cheaper (Asus Z97-A for example)
-dropping the H100i for a hyper 212 cooler
-I would even consider going without an SSD in order to get a better graphics card.

Just...

Just food for thought.

I agree with jim 100% the h100 is a waste of money frankly. Even a noctua will cool better and be cheaper. The ssd as nice as they might be wont improve your game play at all.

Those are all top of the line parts dont get me wrong. It's just you are going to be spending I'm guessing $1200+ on a machine that will be beat by a $850 unit.

Two good suggestions ^^

A GTX770 will run nicely on a 575w psu. A GTX780ti would only need 620w.
Here is a good Seasonic 620w unit:

Today, I would build with a current Z97 based motherboard. A good one will go for $130 or so.

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D14 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
-----------------------end of rant--------------------------

Save the cost of the H100 and apply it to a GTX770. You will game better with a stronger graphics card than one more cpu multiplier. With a conservative oc, a $30 cm hyper212 will do the job.

I endorse the ssd. It is much easier to install using one up front than to convert later.
I might suggest using a 240gb ssd and deferring on the hard drive. 240gb will hold the os and a goodly number of games. It is easy to add a hard drive later if you will be storing large files such as videos or backups.

Consider the source, but this indicates that a ssd might actually reduce fps lags:
