1) i5 4690k or 17 4790k? i5 4690k can reach 5GHz?
2) Gaming 5 or 7?
3) 1600MHz or 1866MHz?
4) SSD is good?
5) That case will fit Corsair H110?
6) PSU is good for a future SLI?

1) for gaming yah 4.5 is good 4.8 or 4.7 is the sweet spot imo also speed dosnt matter for instance the 3770K at stock speed is just as fast as the FX at 4.5ghz

2)Asus has very easy overclocking also LLC is easy to use to get stable voltage to the CPU

3) i dont know about red black ram but the G.skill Ripjaws are red and look cool

4) well if u use a long card im not sure it will be an easy fit coz if u mount a H110 or a NZXT kraken X61 in front of the VGA card u will feed it hot air it wont overheat it will just run hotter and louder which isnt good imo

u should go with the H440 or any case with high air flow and 2x 140mm fan mounts at the top

PS: there is a black / red H440 which will fit your theme :)

1) - the 5ghz is luck of the draw and also depends on your motherboard the I7 is better than the I5 but ill save the money for a better gpu
2) - it is up to the futures u want the motherboard to have how ever for 200 usd ill go with the asus Hero becouse it can OC better
3) the cheaper ones i have 1866Mhz 8gb G.skill ram
4) http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-recommendation-benchmark,3269.html cheack this link for SSDS
5) if it has 2x 140MM fan holes it will fit also mind the GPU/Mobo spacing and all
6) yes any quality 750W PSU and up is good for SLI i have a 7950 xfire + 3570K @ 4.9GHZ running solid with out a problem

good bigger case recommendations would be H440 or the 750D/650D also u should try the NZXT Kraken X61

i have a H100I but the Kraken X61 is better because it is bigger and thicker and comes with better fans

the problem with the S340 is if u mount the H110 in front of the GPU u might feed it Hot air

1) So for gaming a 4.5GHz for gaming is ok?
2) For overclocking an Asus mobo is better than MSI?
3) I would like a red/black ram and in my country prices are similar

So the S340 is too small for a H110 and the VGA will ovearheating?
