I love the MSI mobo with the matching Gaming series GPU. Maybe add an SSD?

I would recommend that you swap out the H100i with an H220. It's a little bit more expensive (like $30), but it's worth it.

 

Have you ever considered looking into an SSD?

It really depends on you. You can get a 32 GB SSD for booting, or a 126 GB one for the OS, caching, and to install a few programs/games.

But is the Swiftech H220 a good combination with SilverStone AP121?

No problem, the main benefit to the H220 is that it is expandable if you want to get your feet wet with liquid cooling. As you can see I did with my 7970 and extra radiator.
