Is it restricted to gaming or are there other things you are going to do with it like video editing?

Why would you get a universal CPU block and not one made for LGA1150?

360mm radiator would be tight on this build. If you plan to overclock, I would get another 240mm.

Also you could replace the memory with http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f32133c9d16gxh. It's slightly cheaper and has better latency

@ItxCrow,

 

Overall it is a powerful system.

 

You might want to check memory pricing. In the US the red Vengeance Pro DDR3-2400 CAS 11 2x8GB kit is actually less expensive than the kit in the OP list.

 

I would spend more on the psu getting one of EVGA 220-G2-1000-XR, Seasonic X-1050, XFX P1-1050-BEFX or even XFX P1-1000-BELX or SeaSonic Platinum-1000.

 

Did you consider getting a 1TB ssd instead of the 500GB & 1TB hdd?

That thing could handle at least two 1440p screens, so I think you'll be fine.

 

But I do like it, but I think you should get a Seagate Barracuda. In my experience they tend to be a quieter than the WD Black, as well as cheaper and just about as fast.

For 1TB, I got the ST1000DM003. It's usually pretty cheap (last I looked it was $49.99 on Amazon).

Crucial CT1024M550SSD1 or Samsung MZ-7TE1T0BW.

 

Not sure what psu you are talking about. But if it is one I mentioned or one of the Corsair AX or AXi then it will be a good choice.
