Ye, money isnt that big of a problem. but i was a bit concerned about the h100i and the h440 (because of the airflow and silent case)

Do you think that will be ok?.anyone having the same config?  And also i am not a hardcore gamer at all.

Airflow in H440 is slightly worse then other cases but it's not bad at all.

What about mass storage except SSD ? Other than that it is currently the best possible. I suggest you to check out Gigabyte's Editions of 970 or 980 as they are highly rated for lower temperatures and aesthetics.

If you can buy it there, get the NZXT Kraken x61. It performs better than the H100i and looks better IMO. It changes colors wow

I can get i here, but i have heard that corsair link (i feature i like) is much better than the nzxt software!?
