Couldn't find the 960 EVO m.2 on pc hound - but amazon has the 250GBs for 127.99

Assuming about $300 for a motherboard and Processor will be either i7-7820X or i9-7900X at $600-$1000


Future plans over the next year:
Expand to 128GB
Replace gtx770 with matching gtx1080
Begin replacing monitors - Looking to eventually be @ 3x 1440p and 3x 1080p

Questions:
1. Will the i7 w/ 28 lanes be enough ? Should I go with the 44 lane chip ?
2. Suggestions a CPU cooler - Looking at something akin to The H80i I'm using now. I want to keep it fairly quiet, but will be doing a light OC on the system. Going to a 140w TDP chip, I'm thinking something larger than the h80i would be in order, but I would like to keep it around $100 if at all possible.
3. Anything I'm missing? Its been a while since I've built a new rig.
