Hi community , i've got several questions about this build. This is my first time building!
[http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ynm9wP] < Part list ! :) 

1. As a first timer build, the most im scared of is the h100i , how many years will it serve me? Wont it leave any liquid leaks? Will it be hard to install?

2. How far can i overclock my CPU with this cooler?

3. Will this monitor be good for 1080p gaming?

4. Does anyone have similiar peripherals? Any cons and pros?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*The motherboard isnt Asus Z97 Hero , It's an Asus Z97 Ranger (i didnt find it in pcpartpicker)

Any replies apreciated!!

1. The risk of leaks is very low, and it would last a long time. Installation is not particularly difficult. The main downside is that you get a poor ratio of cooling to noise to price. The H100i is relatively noisy and expensive. A good air cooler, eg. from Noctua, will be quieter and cheaper while cooling practically just as well.

2. As far as the CPU will go, that's down to the silicon lottery.

3. Not a monitor expert, but I guess it will be okay. The TN panel doesn't have the best color reproduction or viewing angles, but it's fast.

4. Never really been into Razer, especially after they put always-on DRM in their mice.

1. It will serve you a while. Its not too hard to install and as long as you install everything correctly the chances of leaks are very slim.

2. It really depends on the chip but that cooler will keep temps low so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

3. I've never used that specific monitor but Ben q makes good stuff and it has good reviews on newegg.

4. I like razer products but I've always preferred corsair. Look into the m95 mouse.

It looks like a great build. One change i would make would be the psu. Get this one (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g2075...) instead. Better quality and cheaper.

I would buy SP120's for the h100i? Will it still be loud?

The H100i comes with SP120L fans, which I think is the same fan except with higher max RPM. Switching down to SP120 will reduce noise but also reduce cooling performance.
