My first PC build

[revamp]

I'm building my first PC and almost have the money for all the parts. I just need to check that all the components below will be compatible with each other and if you guys have any recommendations to add to the build. I'm stuck at which type of cooling to go for. I'm leaning towards water cooling so could you recommend a good water cooler that would fit nicely in the Antec 1200 case. I've been around on this forum for a while but only just signed up

Your motherboard is incompatible (LGA2011) with your processor (LGA1155). Find a P67 or Z68. If you want to stick with X79 you need to get a SB-E processor like the 3930K ($599.99)

unless you are really into video editing and you render large 1080p videos, then you are not going to need 16 gb of ram, 8 will be perfectly fine

OK thanks. I'm going to get an Asus P8Z68-V PRO motherboard instead. Lucky I hadn't ordered it Now all I need is water cooling and I'm set. Anyone with an Antec 1200 case have any suggestions?

There a known multiple reboot issue on Asus P8Z68-V PRO (i know i have one >.<), so i would recommend a Gigabyte Z68X-UD5 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard instead.
As someone said the X79 chipset is not compatible with your CPU socket. Regarding the CPU, anything higher than a 2600k for gaming is a waste of money atm.
For the case, personnaly i am a Corsair fan, but its up to you, both brands provide excellent cases for your needs.
For the storage, i would go for an Crucial M4 SSD for the sytem + games, and a 2 TB HDD for storage, WD or samsung...
Rest looks good, Corsair PSU are out of the same factories as Seasonic, so excellent stuff.
Are you really sure you need watercooling ? if you're not planning to overclock over 4.2ghz, i would recommend the Corsair H80 cooler.
