This is my part list so far http://pcpartpicker.com/list/VcbmGf and I'm hoping to get some input. I want to be able to play games at max settings 60 fps at 1440 and eventually move up to 4k (Also some VR). I am planning on adding a second 1080 card later on this year assuming this build works out. Also I know drives arnt really necessary I just kinda want one.

If you're considering it in the future why wouldn't you get everything done in one go? There's a ton of far better coolers out there regardless of if you are looking for quiet operation or to overclock. The 212 is neither of those. If you can find it in stock for a good price anywhere the Cryorig H7 is far better in every way, though you'd still be better off investing in a solid large air cooler or liquid cooler now

Nothing really wrong with it. It's screaming for a far better CPU cooler than that though. I mean, with a build like that you're obviously planning on overclocking the CPU, and you've purchased a bunch of top tier components. Why put on a meh CPU cooler?

I actually wasnt really planning on overclocking. I am considering it and may want to try it out in the future but I've heard a lot of horror stories about it and am a bit scared of ruining my PC. As for the CPU cooler I actually was planning on a better one. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hmtCmG/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2 This one to be specific but I was told that the other one I listed would get the job done.
