Fixed Sorry Mate

Morning here mate, sorry for late reply.  I think your build is perfect. I like how you chose the red/black colour scheme. I assume your render videos, because of the i7 and the 16 GB of RAM. If you aren't editing videos, or very occasionally, an i5 is fine. It will just be 30% slower. 

 

I would use 2 of these: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-case-fan-co9050005ww

The Corsair H100i uses SP120L fans, which are the same but without the rubber mounts, which are louder. They also use 0.3 amps instead of SP120's 0.25, which means that the SP120L can spin faster, which is only made to create more noise.

 

IMO, Corsair PSU's are the best, same with Seasonic. But let's just talk about Corsair. They have good quality components in it, so they're reliable as well. The only Corsair PSU I would stay away from is the CX and CS series, which is has lower-grade components and a sleeve-bearing fan. Sleeve bearing fans are recommended to only be used in a vertical position, but you'll most likely put it facing up or down which is bad for sleeve fans. I personally use a TX650M and it's perfect, I never had any issues with it.

 

If you can spend another $50 though, I would get the AX760. It's 80 Plus Platinum which means it runs even more efficient. The fan starts spinning at 60% load, so most of the time it's silent.

Hmmm.
 
If your not going to be doing major editing then go with an i5.
If you have 93mm of clearance (43mm for the rad, 50mm for 2 fans) for an AIO cooler then get this. It outperforms most 240 and even 280mm AIO coolers.

 

2 SSDs. Uhh... If you're going to do RAID 0 then I wouldn't if I were you. It's an unreliable method of storage. Doesn't need to change though
There's a lot of mixed opinions about Corsairs PSUs, I'm not saying it needs to change but it's something worth mentioning.

Perhaps just the 500gb 840 evo ssd. Just get 8gb of ram unless you are doing heavy photo or video editing and get red ram such as corsair vengeance or kingston fury red. And maybe if you go with 8gb of ram and only one ssd you might have enough money to get a 780ti instead.

Hey Mate Thank you for the help. I do small photo/video editing for when im on the bike. 

 

I think this is the build i will go with.

I'm afraid to swear now because the overlords might hurt me.
