I would change the psu for starters.The NEX isn't the best.

 

You don't really need a H100i for an i5. 

 

Better PSU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-014-SF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2057

Cheaper cooler - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-008-RT&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=2666

 

The Raijintek cooler will be a lot quieter than the H100i as well.
