Why am I going to build a custom PC:
First of all I really like the concept of building your own custom PC and I wanted to do this for a very long time. Besides that I have allways been a console gamer, but I also want to experience the PC gaming world. At the moment I do have a desktop in my room, but its nothing fancy (last week something happened too and since then im not getting anything on my monitor, my monitor will just shut down because it doesn't register a signal from any port) so I render video's allways on my laptop which is pretty good, but not better then a good custom build PC. So I want to up to scale and make better video's and produce them faster. Besides that I really want a good PC for at home, so I won't have to work on my laptop. At the moment when I use AutoDesk programms my laptop can process the big documents but it can go faster, because sometimes it just takes a while for something to load up. So to have a good PC at home to work on these big documents without a problem would be really awesome.

You are going to need a good graphics card to game and render images in those programs. I would recommend a graphics card with at least 2 GB of ram on it with at least 1-2 GHz processing chip on it.

Looking at your parts list, you should be pretty set. However, be sure that everything will work together. Go to PC Park Picker and put all of these parts in. It will tell you if any of the parts won't work with a different one. (pcpartpicker.com)

Overall your build looks good! You shouldn't have any issues as long as all the parts can connect with one another.

Looks like an overall solid build. I'd advise against going for the TX3 now. If you're planning on overclocking in the future, just use the stock cooler for now, and save up a little so you can buy a better quality cooler when you decide it's time.

Thx for the info and the tips. I allready found that site and used it to see if it all fits together and there are no issues.

Thx for the info and the tip. I was allready searching for another CPU Cooler, because of the bad reviews on this one. I found the cryorig H7 and that one is a pretty good cooler according to the reviews. They even say its comparable with the evo 212 which is apparently a great cooler. The evo 212 doesn't fit in my case unfortunately, but the cryorig H7 does. Unfortunately the cryorig is hard to get here in The Netherlands, so I have to find a solution for this.

One other thing is that intel doesn't include stock coolers anymore, since the skylake editions.

Edit:
I found out that Alternate sells the Cryorig H7.
