Hardware Hub Build a PC

After posting on /r/buildapc I recieved no help, so I thought I'd try here instead. Here is what I posted over on reddit:

First off, some things such as the case/fan controllers etc may seem a bit unnecessary but I had a bit of extra money to put into this and aesthetics are fairly important to me. This is my first build and I'm looking to go for the 2011 socket for the purpose of potential upgrades. I'm looking to run nearly any game at 1080p as well as be able to record game play footage (hence the second 2TB HDD) The things that I have some questions on:

Motherboard- Is this a fairly decent motherboard that can overclock fairly well?

Fans- How many fans do I need if I plan on using push pull on the H100i as well as good airflow in general?

Wifi-Adapter- I need to have wifi for when I move between houses. This seemed like the best method.

Monitors- I currently have two of these: Dell E2209Wc. I couldn't find much information on them and was wondering whether I should replace them with something different.

PSU- I was also looking at some of the Seasonic silent series, but Corsair link seemed to be cool, and Corsair is highly recommended.

Case- I really like the switch, but having to switch houses every week could be a pain with such a large case, something with a handle could be better (Storm Stryker etc) If you have any opinions on transporting the switch/other cases feel free to let me know.

If you have any questions or suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Seasonic / XFX are honestly way better PSU's primarily because of their "caps" . BUT Corsair will do the job, just make sure its 80+

The H100i is great for temps but the fans that come with it are complete SHIT. They will make your ears bleed.

I hightly sugest getting two Noctua NF-P12 120 mm for the H100i. Honestly, push pull is a bit over rated .. and on top of that, it's hard to find a case that will support push pull that is also mobile.

Mkay, I'll look into other PSU's a bit more. As far as the fan's go I've heard the same thing, so I'll look into some replacements. How many fans would you recommend the average build to have? Instead of push pull would you just recommend a straight exhaust? Thanks.

Strait exhaust is the most common methed. Before I bought a HAF X, I was really looking into the Cooler Master Storm Trooper. It's a Full Tower Case, but it does have a handle on it. I personally would recomend getting a full tower just so you have upgrade more freely in the future ( and because full towers look bad ass )

Honestly socket 2011 is overkill for what you'll be doing and the processor you chose isn't an unlocked multipler.  Save the money and go with a 2500k or 3570k socket 1155 build or the AMD FX 8350.  There really is no such thing as future proof PC builds.
