I would've gotten a better PSU.
Over-priced and under-performing water cooler, and your setup didn't necessitate it. Should've gone with a Hyper 212 or an NH-D14.
H61 motherboard with a K CPU? Why? And in a mid-tower case?
Overpriced garbage rubber-dome keyboard.
17.5 inch monitor? Your priorities are all out of whack.

I also agree with this...
Watercooling if your using the computer for a long time ends up just warming up the water tank and not cooling it down at all. The Hyper 212 is much better.
Also, if used for gaming 17.5inch monitor is tiny! You should of gone for atleast a 21.5" although I use 2 24".

There's nothing inherently wrong with watercooling and implemented properly it's a great thing, but on a build like this and almost all other builds, air is the better choice. Not really sure you understand how water-cooling works from what you said, though. It's a lot like an air cooler, but the medium is liquid instead of heatpipes and the radiator is away from the block.

I understand watercooling and in some cases it can just end up heating the water and no be of a use, but air is better if you get a good push/pull config.

That's like saying with air-coolers only heat up the heat-pipes. It's just not what happens. You also don't need push-pull to have an effective cooler.

Push/Pull helps to produce a good air flow which helps more with cooling, although, I understand you don't need it to have an effective cooler.

I would suggest doing away with the water cooling system as you won't need it. I have an i5 build running a stock cpu cooler and the temps are fine.

Considering how insanely cheap the Hyper 212+ is, I would go for that. Friends don't let friends use stock coolers.
