i'm posting this to ask if all of this will be compatible,

Motherboard: ASUS Z170 pro gaming £130
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 980 TI SC GDDR5 £570
Power Supply: Corsair CX750 power supply £70
Processor: Intel i7-6700k
Ram: Avexir Core White Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit £89
Hard drive: Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD/ An old 2TB hard drive
Case: NZXT CA-H440W-TH - H440 Midi -Tower Special Edition- Black / Green (Razer) £120
Cooling system: NZXT X61 Kraken Watercooler £100

I will also be running windows 10 on this system and i don't think i'll need a sound card because i always use a headset anyways
The case i will be using comes with 4 fans but i'm not sure if that will be enough cooling which is why i'm also getting water cooling.
I will be using an old 2TB hard drive from my old computer and a new 500gb
In total the pc will cost around £1400 to build idk if thats a good deal or not any help would be great.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Yes, those are all compatible components. The PSU is not the best though, so for a 1,400quid investment, I'd suggest you replace that.

Something like this:

Couldn't find the 2x8GB RAM, or a price for the case. But there's a much better PSU in there

Like the others, I suggest you move up in quality for the PSU, the 'CX' series are OK but Seasonic, Superflower, the XFX Pro series, EVGA Supernova series or the Antec High Current series would be better choices.
If a more expensive PSU puts you over budget, the Kraken is a bit of overkill unless you're going to overclock straight away, the boxed Intel part is OK at stock speeds but can be a little noisy under sustained load for some, but several companies make inexpensive air coolers that can keep the CPU nice and cold without getting noisy like the Noctua NH-D9L or NH-U9S, or the standard cheapie the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo-amongst others.

As others have said, look at the EVGA SuperNova G2 (not G1!), P2, or GS series, Seasonic G, X, or S/M12II series, or XFX Gold-rated PSU's - they're much better quality. A 650W unit will be more than enough if you're not over-clocking.

As for cooling, 4 case fans should be enough to shift sufficient air quietly. With regard to the cooler, an air cooler like the Noctua NH-U12S will do (I have one - very quiet, keeps my 4790K below 60C) or CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO or Cryorig H7, if you want to save a little bit (note: there is no stock cooler for the 6700K!).
