I bought the Noctua myself (D15 with Fractal R5), so I like them. I would stick with what you have since Corsair says it will fit. I'm not sure how much clearance they allow- I would guess about 5mm. You could go with the Noctua U12S, but you would be sacrificing a lot of cooling capability. If you go with the D14, you may have RAM clearance issues since it doesn't have the RAM cutouts like the D15 does.
The NH-D15S is compatible with the Z97X-UD3H:

The NH-D15S barely fits in the Corsair 450D to the exact mm:

The GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD is 299mm long. The case accepts a card up to 430 mm. so the card should fit:

In summary, it looks like everything will work together, though the cooler just barely.

There is a tower that is better, what would be better?
