I would recommend the CM 240M instead of the H100i. Maybe even an H220 if you can afford it.

Not sure. There's nothing about the case supporting 280mm rads on the website.

Are you limited to newegg or are you open to other us shops? Are you planning to sli?

Neither. There's little point paying so much for a cpu cooler when what you're primarily doing is gaming.

only newegg for convenience. Probably sli in the future

Even if it would cost less if you shopped around from different stores?
