Consider going with the NZXT Kraken X60 or a Swiftech instead of the Corsair H100. Both offer better performance with less fan noise. The Cosmos can also support a DIY watercooling kit, so consider going that route as well.
You might want to upgrade your ram to 8GB sticks so you can run 32GB. 16GB isn't a whole lot if you a lot of heavy multi-tasking.

2 problems with your High Performance side of your "High Performance" build, 1) the RAM, you went all out everywhere else but the RAM, you should at least start out with 16GB and go up from there, 2) If you are an AMD fanboy than i wont be able to really talk reason into you, but if you are not than why aren't you considering GTX 780 , it will tear the 7970 apart, for a little more, or if you want same performance but lower price the GTX 770 performs same as 7970 on most benchmarks, and both of the GTX cards are new generation as compared to 7970
