A few pointers,

• WD Blacks are expensive, you can get Seagate Barracuda 2TB for the same money.

• The RAM light, will it match?

• The thermal paste is a pain to use, the H100i does come with pre-applied silver based compound.

My finger is hovering over the buy button.......but a little voice in my head is saying wait for the IB-E is there any benefit waiting in your opinion?
Brian
 
There's no real benefit unless you do editing/encoding etc, that's with the hex core chips, the quad core (4820K ?) will be very very similar in speed to the 4770K chip.
 
If you're wary about the CPU/board, then maybe go for a cheaper board. There are loads of good options in the £120-£200 range.
