Pretty sure you can't overclock unless you have a Z170 Chipset... If you don't OC, the you probably don't need the H100i (get an i7 instead if you don't OC)... Would recommend a better PSU for upgrades down the line.

I did forget about that with the motherboard thank you.

Better CPU (at the expensive of the cooler but the i7 6700K will offer better performance in a number of games), a Z170 motherboard so you can actually overclock, 16GB of RAM instead of just 8GB, better SSD (larger and has longer durability) and a better power supply:
