Hello, this is my first custom pc build and i wasn't completely sure if all the parts were compatible an stuff. It's a gaming PC
Also, I'm having problems understanding how I should go with cooling. Should I get a GPU cooler, what CPU cooler should I get, how many fans? Please leave your suggestions below!

Thats a good build. The case comes with enough fans that I don't think you'd need extras. The gpu comes with a cooler and should be fine especially if isn't the reference model.

Looks pretty good to me! And why are you going with ivy bridge processor? I would get a haswell i5 4670k! With the asus maximus hero 1150 socket. and I would also get the h100i water cooler.

No that would have been a good build two years ago buit not now. I'm also wondering why the stores are spread out so far. You have Newegg, then a store from the Netherlands, then a store from Australia, and so on.

This is what you should get for that budget:
