Do you also plan on overclocking? If you aren't, you wouldn't need this board. As for your cooler, I would get a H220 since it is better than the H100i.

What's your budget?

 

Bump down to a Msi z87a-G45 Gaming unless you can use the better sound card on the Hero. 

Get the 840 non Pro. The Pro is marginally faster and is not worth the price bump. You probably won't be able tell the difference in non-benchmarks.

Get a H220 instead of the H100i.
