I can't say too much about the build other than it sounds pretty sweet. You're probably gonna have a real good time with it. BUT the only thing that I will bring up is that the GPU you choose uses 375W for power consumption and the specs recommend having a 750 Watt PSU.

I'm sure it will still run and everything go smoothly, I'm just the cautious type and I just go with what they recommend. But I've also seen people's builds on here with a GTX970 which recommends 500 Watt PSU and they're running 400 Watt. I could've sworn I've seen one running like <400. You're investing a lot of money in your rig, why not throw down a little more and get it...

Ummm, you know, I use the ever so popular Cooler Master HyperEVO212...I swear its the go to for a cheap CPU cooler, like 30 bucks. I like it a lot...cause of the price point mainly, but it keeps my CPU fairly cool. I have a i5 4670K that I overclocked to only 4.0 gHz cause it kept crashing at higher frequencies, but that's because I refused to up the voltage past 1.125. But it was quite stable for 6 months at 4.3 at 1.125 before crashing and that CPU cooler kept my temps at 40-77 deg C. The 77ish was while running Prime95.
I am unfamiliar with enclosed watercooling systems, but I've read guys here say it's dropped their temps down significantly 10-20 deg C under max load and if I could do that I'd up the voltage and push my CPU back to what it was or maybe a little past if it could. I honestly would love a watercooler for my CPU a lot of people have great results and I personally have been eyeing the NZXT (I have their case too) model, but they are expensive and upwards 100+ for a good one with a large radiator/multiple fans.
