Get an H100i v2 instead of a Kraken X62, less risk of failure. Also throw in another 8Gb memory and a boot SSD if you can.

step down to the i7 8700 instead, because the i7 8700k is too much for both the motherboard and cooling you've chosen, you should focus on a 500w~600w gold rated psu instead like a TXM or EVGA G2G3 for better efficiency since your rig is nowhere near using 750w and lastly, your computer does not have a SSD for boot.

I agree with @Crunchy Dragon. Get a bootable SSD. I would look at a large m.2 or a large standard SSD. If you're doing video editing (again, me assuming), you could do the mass storage on the HDD, transfer to the SSD for the faster editing and rendering, and then put it back on the HDD. The SSD/m.2 NVME would make boot time and software loads feel better, especially since you'd otherwise have your OS and everything else on the same exact drive you're streaming video content from. It wouldn't be good. You've got a bottleneck just on that.

 

Also, agree with @Crunchy Dragon. You'll want more RAM. I think 16GB is generally minimum for both gaming and editing. You'll find yourself slowing down when you have to use a SSD/HDD pagefile when your RAM runs out.

Also, agree with the statement about upgrading the cooler to the H100i. You have room so you could go bigger, but when I did my research, Corsair seems to have a much lower fail rate than the NZXT. Additionally, I really like Corsairs software MUCH better. Link is 2^n times better than NZXT's Hal (or whatever they call it now) will ever be.

 

Also, you have the additional budget, I'd look at expanding internal memory if you have anything left. Maybe get 4TB instead of 2TB, that way you're not upgrading again too soon.
