10 bucks says you can't fit your motherboard and your CPU cooler in that case. That case is complete garbage for liquid cooling. 

[delet my acc pls]

Get 1600 mhz memory and get a cheaper cooler.

Buy a r9-290 non refrence with the money you save

I believe the Kraken is thicker than the H100I, i tested with an H100I. It didn't fit. The case you linked isn't the Rosewill Thor. 

 

Also notice that he doesn't have a large mosfet heatsinks OR have thermal armour on his board.

Why only AMD?

900-1000 USD?
