Thoughts on this first build?

Hey guys, going to build my own PC for the first time. A gaming orientated PC but would still like it to excel in pretty much every department. 

Budget isn't very strict, would rather splash out to a certain extent to get it done right as opposed to skimping and suffering in the future.

Here are my initial ideas: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hccLXL


Any feedback would be much appreciated, cheers :D

EDIT: Forgot to mention I havn't chosen a cooler yet. Have heard water cooling is more effective but rather tricky to set up?

solid build, just maby 16GB of ram just because

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Seems like a solid build, you could get an all in one water cooler like an H100i from Corsair. They are no harder to install than any aircooler and perform well.
