Let's keep this simple.

I am very close to finalizing the planning stage of my upcoming gaming PC. The question is, did I do it right?


PLEASE NOTE: I did lost list a PSU and GPU since I already own a Corsair CS750m PSU and Gigabyte GTX 780ti Windforce edition GPU. Will these also be compatible with my system? And is 750w enough?

Without further or do, the list:

Ultimately, I need to know, if I was to purchase all of the parts, and they were sitting in my room, ready for unboxing, have I done a good job in ensuring I won't run into any compatibility issues? Am I ready to construct my dream PC? I want to ensure that I can minimize mistakes and problems, and that the entire process goes as smoothly as possible, as this is all of my money going into this.

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

You are OK.
750w is plenty. 600w will do the job.

You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua NH-D14 or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you...

If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
I would build with a noctua or Phanteks type air cooler.

The Samsung evo will cost you less and perform the same. Particularly if it allows you to go with 240gb up front.
