So I am making a build its for my job which is Rendering/editing and extreme/hardcore gaming so here is a list and I want to know if its good and I also want to know if I can get something better for a better price so here are my specs and of course everything including the pump,coolant and tubes are included in the budget even the monitors,peripherals and OS, also most of these I am buying from NCIX, and no not because Linus works there because none of these items are near me and I want to buy all the items from just 1 store, also my budget is 6000-6500 US Dollars.

You'd have to double check with someone like Ghost or Whaler99 but from memory the MSI 680 Lightning uses a custom PCB meaning that standard 680 waterblocks are not compatible. Other than that I don't see any major issues. You may want to drop to a 860w PSU as high wattage single rails can end with devastating consequences.
