I just finished a build myself.

My only cautionary tale is to be careful about the size profile of the RAM you are using, and how it is distributed on the motherboard if you intend to use a bulky heat sink such as the NH-D14. In my build, I used the Asus P877Z-V Deluxe motherboard with Corsair Vengeance RAM. This RAM is quite tall with the heat fins, and this prevented me from installing the NH-D14 in any possible configuration.

I didn't catch this until after the fact, so I have an NH-D14 that I can't use.

PsYcNet, I've been looking at the H100i. How has it performed for you so far? Everything I've read indicates it's a great cooler, but switching out the fans is a must. I heard there were some issues, and Corsair released new firmware to address them.
