This is the build I am planning to order, but I have heard some terrible things about the H100i including the noise. Any better options? I'm not a cooling expert. Some people suggested air cooling stuff as well but I'm not sure. Throw me any type of cooler.

I use the h100i and it's damn near silent, I'd just make sure your fans are PWM controlled so they're not spinning at full speed through the power supply.

I heard about the 'Pump noise' also, but I never have the problem all my corsair aios. I think that just some bad unite. 

The newer one, H100i GTX, is better in my opinion. Remember you can always change the pump speed with all the i-series via corsair link.
