Will h80i be enough for cooling my processor between 30 - 40 degree celcius or do I need to buy h100i

If this is a gaming rig - spend more on your gpu/cpu. A smaller ssd will save you enough to get a GTX 760 or 770

Hi,
Everything is compatible, but i don't understand the need for liquid cooling, since you have locked processor. For i5 3470, even the stock cooler will do the job just fine.
If you are not going to buy unlocked processor in the future, you might as well change the motherboard to H77 or B75 chipset.
As for PSU, a good 550w will be more than enough. Choose something from the brands like :Corsair (avoid CX units), XFX , Antec or SeaSonic
