Get the corsair H105 instead. H100i has mounting issues

Get the EVGA G2 750W instead of RM750

No point in getting WD green really, go for WD blue instead.

At the price you're spending for the motherboard you would be better off with the Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero and a separate Wi-Fi card.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Could you explain why please?

H100i is known to require either force or slight modding almost to fit. H105 does not have these issues.

EVGA G2 750W is simple, go to http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=380 and find the jonnyguru.com review on the RM850 and you will instantly see why.

WD green is build for mass storage to the max like 6TB. WD green is pretty slow to achieve this whereas WD blue/Seagate Barracuda are more balanced between performance, noise and capacity.

Asus ROG Maximus VII Hero (as much as I think they are a bit overpriced) have better power phase designs in general, have some features to improve OC'ing and have SupremeFX sound (Which is pretty darn good) as well as their legendarily good BIOSes.
