H100i is pointless unless you're going to extreme OC.

For the same price as that build plus $300 for the GPU, you can do this and get VASTLY better overall performance

Is this something you're going to build, or is this the setup you currently have and want to add a GPU?

Not really!
I wouldn't recommend you an APU with discrete GPU, get i5 and some GPU like GTX-760~770!
