Here is what I am currently going to build for gaming. I am unsure of the psu since some of the wattage calculation websites have given me different numbers. Also I don't if I should order an h100i as well, I would like to try overclocking (never done it before). This is a good build for gaming right?
 
A good 600 watt psu will be enough for that system, would save you a little money. Where are you getting your parts from?

I live in Canada so ncix has the best prices for me. Also I want room to expand, extra fans, ram, ssd, hdd, etc. so would 650 be good?
 
Don't get the H100I with a mid-ranged CPU. You'd be paying half the cost of the CPU in cooling, you'd be a lot better off getting a much cheaper aftermarket CPU air cooler and upgrading the processor.
 
Yeah I kinda agree with the above, or maybe look at cheaper all in one coolers such as the H50 or H60.
