Air. Always air. When 99% of people say liquid, they mean garbage like the 'corsair hyper shit'. No. Just no. One is always better off with air unless one actually builds a custom loop that cools a full cover gpu water block and more. What if the pump fails on your corsair hypwr super-one - million plastic liquid cooler? What about the fact that you can't service it and it's meant for the dump?
If you have the dough get noctua. Single tower is fine for you but get dual tower dh14/15 if you can afford it. I Think the one of their nicest ones for the money is the single tower dual fan unit thst comes with dual 92mm fans. Thst is not as quiet as the units with bigger fans but u save a chunk of change and it's quite nice.

CPU/RAM/GPU:
AMD FX-6350 (includes AES support for TrueCrypt), 8GB RAM, and an AMD R9 270x. You can get these three components for ~360€ on Amazon.de
RAID 5:
It requires at least three hard drives and I wouldn't recommend using anything other than RAID 0 and/or 1 without a self-powered dedicated RAID card. These cards are expensive and do not fit into your budget.
The next best option is to configure a RAID 0 with two 2TB hard drives and if you think your data is important enough to use TrueCrypt, add a 4TB external backup: ~280€
Quiet components:
SSD: Intel 730 240GB
PSU maker from Germany: be quiet! - 630W modular (16.4 to 25.1 dBA)
CPU cooler from Austria: Noctua - NH-U12P SE2 (19.8dBA)
Computer case from Germany : Nanoxia - Deep Silence 2.
Hard drive silencer from Germany: Silentmaxx
AMD video card fan from Switzerland: Icy Vision.
Unfortunately I only have 158mm space apparently, would something like this be a good choice? I also assume that it would fit LGA1150? I'm struggling to find a nice cooler that's under 160mm.
I always optimize for setups for low noise and cooling, and I personally would go with a noctua heatsink and fan setup. The noctuas cost a little more (~60 on amazon) but I like them the best out of all the CPU coolers that I have ever used. They are quiet and do a great job cooling. For a case I have found that the Antec 1200 is great for two reasons:
2)It allows you to use antec's larger, quieter power supply (CP-850 or CP-1000)
Antec also makes the 900, which is a smaller, cheaper case comparable to the one that you have in your cart.
I built two high-end gaming computers with these parts last year and love them both.
