1. h220 is not a good cooler due to its horrible reliability and quality 

2. I would wait to see what amd offers first

3. consider a 760T but thats up to you

4. you can get windows keys for sub $20 on G2A

5. thats one over priced monitor i would get this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/aoc-monitor-u2868pqu

About the same price and if you have a Microcenter near you it will be cheaper. Plus you get 980 Ti SLI.

 

Or go with one 980 Ti with the option to upgrade later.
