I am new to building computers but wanted to make my first desktop. I was wondering if there was anyway to improve on a build I was designing and if the water cooling feature would be difficult to install.

Your build looks pretty good. An SSD would give you a huge improvement over hard drive performance, though. I prefer the Samsung 840 pro series...of whatever size you would need for you OS and games/programs. Once you try an SSD, you'll wonder how/why you ever went so long without one.

I haven't tried overclocking before and honestly haven't really wanted to. It is pretty low on my priority list for this build.
