What I think of it depends on your use case; Are you gaming, video editing, recording, rendering, modeling, or? Overall it looks like a very good build, but unless you plan on doing some higher tier OC's, you don't really need the H100i.

I'd recommend looking into a high-performance air cooler, such as the NH-D15 from Noctua. By investing in cyber power, you would be overspending nearly $200 for parts of identical, if not lower specs (not counting the OS). I implore you to consider building it yourself, as the headroom could be put to use on a more powerful GPU. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mm6xgw

You have picked some good components, I agree about the Noctua coolers. I use their coolers and fans in all my builds.

If you are careful you should be able to do it. We all built our first PC once.

Just take it easy and do not force anything.

Ask at any step if you are not sure.

Put the CPU into the motherboard socket first, before you put the motherboard into the case.

1) Read the instructions in the CPU box.
2) It only goes one way, don't force it.

Once CPU is in socket, add a drop of thermal paste in the centre of the cpu. (I recommend arctic silver or the suiff the ships with Noctua Cooler)
Then Attach the cooler (read the instructions).

Then insert the RAM. Motherboard manual will tell you what sockets to use. It only goes one way.

Now you are ready to mount your motherboard in the case.

Make sure that case posts only touch where you have mother board holes.
Don't tighten the screws too tight.

Then connect power supply to motherboard, there are two connectors for the motherboard. a 24pin and an 8 pin (I think). Not the PCI-e leads!!!!
Again don't force tehm.

Then the case connectors, hdd and graphics.

And good luck.
