IMO, U14S hands down. That thing whoops the H100.

The U14s is hands down the best in every department on that list.

Good cooler, but it is out of my budget for the cpu cooler, $80 max

Take a look at the NZXT HAVIK it is a good cooler competes with noctu and loses to a 100i but 1 degree. Its also only $60 and looks sexy , not dark rock sexy but still nice.

U14S. But it doesn't whoop the H100i, it's slightly below it performance wise being a single heatsink air cooler and all. The NH-D15 whoops the H100i.

Noctua U14S if you don't mind the fan colour  :)

 

Also that GTX 760 4GB gpu is pretty pointless. The MSI GTX 770 is the same price.

I would go for a 280X though and save a bit more money.

and the windforce 290 is the same price as a 770, so get the 290!

If you consider the noise it makes and it's performance, it whoops the h100i though

I know that the r9 280x is the best price/performance gpu for 1080p.

I am planing to buy ASUS' ROG Swift 2560*1440 monitor, so an NVIDIA gpu would be better for me so I can take the advantage of G-SYNC

You won't be maxing out that resolution with a gtx 760 though.

Yeah i know, I want something like a gtx 780/780ti

Yes a 780 or 780 ti would be a better choice. If you swap the Seasonic psu for the one below, you will have enough power for SLI.
