That looks fine. Except I would recommend a 7200 RPM HDD just for faster load times, but it's not necessary.
Your video card is PCIe 3.0 x16 and your motherboard only supports up to PCIe 2.0 x16, so look for a different video card.
CPU cooler: Would recommend upgrading on that too, just because if you plan on really pushing that system and playing games on max setting, your CPU will overheat very quickly.


Alright, thanks for the help!
will of that fit in the case? or will it be to big?

Water cooling is always the better option, so yes.

acctually water cooling isnt always the best way to go and really isnt necessary
imo save yourself some time and trouble and just get a normal heatsink fan
heat really shouldnt be too much of a problem and if it is you can always go back and add parts no need to spend all your money if you dont have to..

Actually PCIe 3.0 is backwards compatible its just that 3.0 gives twice as much bandwith as 2.0

Here is a mother board that will be perfect [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
And it will support ivy bridge then it comes out
