I would suggest a higher powered PSU maybe above 700. Don't know about the memory you're using, check with others over its performance and durability. I don't see a HDD, do you have one already?

I would spend another $10 or so and get a bigger SSD (240GB), they make games and such load way faster and it'll be worth it.

there's no real need for a 700w PSU unless he plans to SLI.

Yeah, but a few more bucks to be future ready I think.

I don't really think you'll need a liquid cooling system. It all depends on the country or region you reside in. I've heard that they don't magically cool the CPU but instead depend on the room temperature. At least that's what I heard.

it's not doing anything to be 'future-ready'. a single GPU system only needs 550w at the most unless he's using a HEDT CPU.
