I would like to build a new powerful pc. I'm thinking of going with these components:

 

CPU: Intel i7 5820k

 

Motherboard: Asus x99-A/USB 3.1

 

CPU Heatsink: Corsair Hydro H100i GTX

 

FANS: Bitfenix Spectre Pro Led Green (140mm x 3, 120mm x 2)

 

RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 (2x8Gb) 3000MHz

 

VIDEO CARD: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 4GB GDDR5

 

SSD: HyperX Predator SSD PCIe Gen2x4 (HHHL) 480 GB

 

POWER SUPPLY: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS

 

CASE: CORSAIR CC-9011073-WW Case Gaming Full Tower Graphite

 

It ok or would you make some changes to the system?

I would change that power supply to be honest. I would get something like the EVGA 650 GS. The Corsair CX500M is more geared towards basic builds since they're not the best quality, and what you have here a high end build (very similar to mine :D).

Yes... That PSU is crap for gaming so if you plan on gaming get a better PSU (check my signature for buying guides).

 

Most people here will tell you the R9 390 is better for the price, but i like my GTX 970 so that is up to you.

 

Why not go for an AIO water cooled cpu loop like the H100i or something?

Thank you for the fast answer. I make that change. Definitely I want to put a good power supply and the EVGA 650 GS seems perfect to me.

What's the difference between the H100i and the H100i GTx. What's the best?

Honestly not much. I think the fans are a little better and quieter and it has the nicer newer pump in it with a nicer waterblock. I would go with the GTX if you can but if not the H100i is a fantastic cooler.

The H100i GTX is cheaper so I go with that, but will a 240mm radiator fit in my case?

I'm still undecided on the motherboard? Should I get Asus or Gigabyte?

I would get Asus, for this shallow reason. There's a lot of overclocking guides using the Asus BIOS so you can follow along easily. Both brands are excellent though.
