ok so I'm fairly new to building my own setup and I want to do it I've done tons of research and according to the knowledge I have every one of my PC parts works together I'm not a hundred percent sure and I want some second opinions before I throw $1500 bucks into a new setup. I'm going to using this for gaming and video editing!

 

specs:

case: 
NZXT h440 Mid Tower USB 3.0
Processer:
Intel Core I7-4790K Haswell Quad-Core 4.0GHz LGA 1150 Desktop Processor BX80646I74790K
MB:
ASUS MAXIMUS VII GENE LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/S USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM:
ADATA USA XPG V1.0 OC Series 16GB DDR3 1866MHZ PC3 14900 8GBx2, Red AX3U1866W8G10-DR 
Graphics card:
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Overclocked 4GB GDDR5 PCiE Video Graphics Card GV-N970WF3OC-4GD
 SSD:
Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 256 GB SATA 6GB/s Solid State Drive MZ-7PD256BW
HD:
Western Digital 2 TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive, Black, WD2003FZEX
power supply:
EVGA 600B 80PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V/EPS12V Active PFC 600W Power Supply 100-B1-0600-KR
Cooling: 
Cooler Master Seidon 240M - PC CPU Liquid Water Cooling System, All-In-One Kit with 240mm Radiator and 2 Fans
 
I just want to know if i have forgotten anything?
if i will avoid bottlenecking with this setup?
if i will have any thermal issues(also if i have left out any cooling components)?
if im missing any components at all?
if the integrated power supply the case has will support everything or if i will need the third party one and if that one will work?
which processor will be the most performance for the least cost?
 
i want to run all my game at high quality and be able to handle heavy video(3d text to video, effects,3d animation)?
thank you for those who help!

The AMD part is getting outdated, that Devil's Canyon Intel CPU will tear it to shreds. it's not gonna bottleneck anything for the next quite a while.

You also don't need a top-of-the-line balls-to-the-wall expensive gaming motherboard. All you're gonna need is the fan headers and the overclocking, really. Get a cheaper motherboard and put the rest into a 970 or a 980.

H100i's have been known for pump failure, so I would go with something like a Cooler Master 240M.

On the PSU side of things, it's a bit overkill unless you plan on throwing another GPU in there somewhere down the road. you can power dual 680s and nine hard drives off of a 600W power supply.

The integrated power supply that the case has will explode and take your computer with it. THROW IT AWAY.

In terms of price-to-performance, you could go with a lower part, but I would stick with Devil's Canyon if you're doing CPU-intensive things like video editing.

Updated will the 600 watt run everything?

and also i wont have thermal problems right?

i switched the 770 to a 970 and the money in the motherboard is extra
