Such expensive pc, such crappy keyboard/mouse combo. Get an i5 4690K and get a mechanical keyboard :3

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

If you are not planning on over-clocking I would get the cooler master hyper 212 evo, cheap and incredibly effective and then also check the compatibility notes at the bottom on part picker!! It doesn't seem to like your ram!

If you want a reply PLEASE QUOTE ME!

You can go for i5-4690K + Asrock Z97 Extreme4. Also replace H100i with Noctua NH-D14, you will have same performance, but with Noctua your rig will be more quiet. In this price range you can buy even mechanical keyboard with good mouse.
