I'm building my first pc and want to use it for both rendering and gaming. I was looking at these parts and was looking for opinions on it please as I am still a newbie with this. The GPU is a set thing so I can't change that really all other components are still flexible within the price range. Would this build well balanced?

If there are options that would cost less for the same result please share.

I was also looking at liquid cooling and wondered is it would be a big pro vs air cooling?

Case: phantom NZXT 530
Graphics Card: ASUS Radeon R9 280 DirectCU top II 3GB
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790k
CPU cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO -OR- Antec Kuhler H2O 650 version 2
Motherboard: ASUS Maximus VII Ranger Intel Z97 LGA 1150 ATX
PSU: CORSAIR TX 650W
Ram: Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer (2x4gb) DDR3
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200 RPM
SSD: Kingmax SMP35 client 120GB

Thank you!
