I should change it for devil's canyon. I also like the true spirit because of price/perfomance

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.

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

I was just pointing out a better card for the same/less money, but yeah the 290 is better if he has the money  :)

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

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

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.

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.
