I'm looking to transition from laptop to PC but not too sure what to look for so I've done a bit of research and put some parts together here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/WnjpHN

As I said I don't really know too much about building PCs so if anyone has any advice or suggestions of things to change it would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Solution
CPU COOLER - Water cooling isn't necessary for overclocking and is expensive. Look toward a good air cooler.
MB - Nice and all, but a bit of overkill.
PSU - A quality 750w unit will have you able to add a second GTX 1070 in SLI when / if you need more graphics power.
WiFi - Changed to an AC model.
