Looks good! But maybe swap mobo for this: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/76382/newegg-asrock-z77-extreme4-lga-1155-intel-z77-hdmi-sata-6gbs-usb-3.0-atx-motherboard-w1year-extended-warranty?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SlickdealsnetFP+%28SlickDeals.net+Frontpage%29
and downgrade the case, since its kind of unnecessary.
The only other thing I can say is that you will save almost a hundred dollars more if you get these components at other places, namely amazon and microcenter. Good luck!

My final opinion:
- looks great!
- you dont need any TIM, because the H100 comes pre-aplied, and the TIM it has its great
- nice choise on the case and on the SSD, along with the mobo and everything tbh
Btw, recommend you getting some of these: http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/premium-modding/alchemy-cables/
Choose the color you want, they will look awesome in your case.

Kick ass build!
Though I think it is still a good idea he picks up some thermal paste in the event of a failed installation or future issues, instead of risking the generic best buy brands. I never did use the paste on my H80, cleaned it right off and used AS5 and it works great for me.

Oh, for sure!One thing I'm curious about is how should I set up the airflow in the case? Set up the h100 as an exhaust or intake? I was thinking exhaust with the front and back fans as intakes..

The H100 should be intake to provide fresh air. You may also want to consider replacing the stock fans. They are really loud and honestly not the best.

They are good!, but loud xD
Get two 140mm fans in the front, h100 on top (intake) and a exhaust in the back

I would put the H100 fans as out-takes as I would want the heat from the CPU exhausted from the case, but I don't think it will matter either way
Having them as intake will create more positive pressure inside the case which theoretically pushes dust out.
+1 to sleeved extensions!
