I bought Hadron Air and it slowly driving me insane.

I love the way hadron air looks but after using it for 6 months I can't stand it anymore and want to do something.
Hadron air uses very poor delta fan in their power supply and since it's kinda unique PSU there is no alternatives so entire case has to be changed.
Also blower type Nvidia 760 has to go or at least some after market cooler to be mounted on it. But what kind of aftermarket cooler would fit into mini itx cases?
At the moment the build looks like this:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper TX3 54.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85N PHOENIX-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB mSATA Solid State Drive
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked ACX Video Card
Case: EVGA Hadron Mini ITX Tower Case w/500W Power Supply
Case Fan: Antec True Quiet 120 GREEN 35.3 CFM 120mm Fan
Case Fan: Antec True Quiet 120 GREEN 35.3 CFM 120mm Fan
I played a bit and came up with this upgrade:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U9B SE2 37.9 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B85N PHOENIX-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB mSATA Solid State Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 960 2GB Video Card (it's not an upgrade just really fell in love how quite this card is)
Case: Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX Tower Case
Power Supply: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan: Noctua NF-R8-1800 80mm Fan (2x)
Case Fan: Noctua NF-A14 PWM 82.5 CFM 140mm Fan
Would this build work? I think Noctua CPU cooler should fit without issues or is there any better choice? How about case?
Also how would I connect two 80mm Noctua fans then I have just 2 fan headers (one for CPU and another one for 140mm case fan). Or does this Noctua fans come with molex adapter? If so will it run at very low speeds?
