just wait for the release of the new i7 4790K before build up
i suggest you to change the psu for an xfx/seasonic/corsair instead of cooler master

i plan to do a lot of over clocking on the cpu that's why i had liquid cooling and one of the ones with k after and waiting is probably a good idea the new one being released should bump the other prices down a bit. i might actually buy that graphics card now that 100$ rebate is hard to ignore just it has a lot of negative reviews currently have it changed to this

That PC you have there would be great for everything. It is both High-End and future proof. Games will not stand a chance as it will be able to max out games like Skyrim(modded and decked out), BF4, All valve titles, Civ 5, Crysis Series basically everything that is out now. If there was only one thing to change it might be your hard drive to something with a bit more space on you HDD but that only depends on how much you edit. But that can easily be avoided by getting an external for storage later down the road. Other than that it looks like you have prepared very well and should have no problems with this build.
