Try the h80i v2 corsair water cooler. h80iv2 offers better cooling but is bigger. Corsair says it will fit both cases below but best to plan ahead and make sure the thicker one in the back wont get in the way of anything.http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Extreme-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B019EXSSBG$87 or h60 http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B00A0HZMGA $60For future expansion, get a 750w power supply. Also, modular is very convenient. Both worth the extra $15. The gold version would be better and more efficient but its $100.

Can the Gtx 960 be used with the I5 and Intel z97? Since its amd and rest is you could do that build and get the gtx960 istead of that pos ati card they offer in that build and your build would kick fkn ass honestly any top tier i3 and up will kik most of amds cpu's asses -safest bet ive learned over the years is to stay with intel cpu's and nvidia video cards.
