I think better mainboard and memories will help you to have better performance and if the mainboard and graphic card be from same manufacturer they can be compatible better

Build looks pretty good. Here´s my comments.

CPU COOLER : I´d go with an aircooler instead of the liquid cooler you chose. H60 is about equal to a 212 EVO. 212 evo is easier to install, more silent and doesn´t risk leaking/exploding, as there has been reports on from H60.

STORAGE DRIVE : Be careful about more than 2 TB storage drives, as they tend to fail more often. I´d suggest maybe a 500 GB SSD + 2 TB Hybrid drive instead. You can always add another 2 TB drive to the build if you need more space.



PSU : There are cheaper version with tight voltage regulalations, good ripple supression and better certification. Antec PSU are good in general though.

VIDEO CARD : I have no personal experience with the gainward version.

MONITOR : I´d go for a monitor with a higher resolution, since your graphic card can easily pull more than 1080p. Maybe a Gsync Monitor.
