Hi,
The build as it is, everything is compatible, but there are some balancing issues.
-You have locked Intel processor, there is no need for liquid cooling and Z87 motherboard. If you plan in the future to get unlocked processor, than it is ok to get the liquid cooling and the Z87 motherboard. If you stay with the same processor, better get H87, B85 or H81 chipset motherboard, and the stock cooler that comes with the processor will do the job just fine.
-Better consider another PUS, Zalman isn't a brand associated with quality PSUs. Get something from the brands such as : Corsair (avoid CX units), XFX, Antec or SeaSonic in the range of 550w-600w.
-Btw, nice Case :)

Thanks for the answer :). I'm not going to use unlock cpu with this system, and I hope it remains functional for 4-5 years. So I can change the mainboard. The hydro cooling was for noise reduction otherwise I can remove it. Any idea for switching some parts with better parts and not very high price?

For CPU cooler, you can get Cooler Master Hyper TX 3 Evo, i have the same cooler and it is pretty quiet and easy to install. I previously had problems with the stock cooler on my i7 2600, so i needed a cheap solution since my CPU is also locked one and doesn't require some massive cooling. I believe it is 15 Eur.
For motherboard, see if this motherboards are available in Sweden (i assume you are form Sweden form the KR currency)

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-b85pro4
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-b85plus

Or send me the web site form the PC shop that you will be buying the parts, so i can see what they offer.

The web shop is:
http://www.net2world.se/
but it's in swedish and the prices compare to some other providers in Sweden like dustinhome.se cdone.se ... are decent.
All the alternative parts that you mentioned are there.

For motherboard, get this one. It is pretty decent and almost half the price of the Asus Z87-Pro

For PSU, get this one, top of the range and 80Plus Gold certificate. Plus it is modular, so the building process will be easier.
They don't have the cooler i was talking about, this is his bigger brother, the Hyper 212 Evo, it will cool the CPU even better but it is little bit more expensive

Sorry, here is the PSU

You might think it is expensive, but we saved money on the Motherboard, and also PSU is one of the most important hardware in the system. If PSU fails, all components may die. Always choose PSU from the brands such as : Corsair (avoid CX units), XFX, Antec or SeaSonic.
