Don't get the H80i, get the N-U14S instead much better and then get a Samsung 840 EVO for boot drive.

Get an SSD, Samsung 840 Evo is good. Good pricing can generally be found on Kingston V300 these days. Keep the H80i unless you need to save some $ for the SSD.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

What's the system being used for?

Where are you located/shopping? Budget?

I would change the Caviar Black 1TB to the Seagate Barracuda 1TB if you are fine will a shorter warranty because it runs cooler and is cheaper.
