I understand that the GPU is a little bit of a overkill but I do plan on upgrading to a 4k monitor in the future.

It is VERY strong. As u said the gpu is a bit overkill but for 4k it is hardly enough. Most builds for 4k use at least 2 way sli of a gtx 980

Great Built, but you need an Aftermarket Cooler.
i don't like that monitor since that doesn't come with HDMI port.

Yea I am also just thinking about getting a 144Hz monitor instead of a 4k because I have done some research and 4k is a little strong for this build.

AfterMarket Cooler?

 

[RababNoor]

Intel,AMD both comes with cooler along with the CPU box, those are Stock Cooler. But for Overclocking CPU [K series], those cooler don't perform well. So to cool down your CPU you need aftermarket Cooler [Air Cooler or Water Cooler]

Oh I see now. Do you have a recommendation for a monitor because I am still looking around?

A few months ago, I would have said do not change a thing; excellent build.
Today,
With Skylake now available, there is absolutely no question in my mind that a new build should be Skylake.
a. Prices for cpu, z170 motherboard and ddr4 ram are almost precisely the same.
b. 6600K has an estimated 5-10% performance improvement per clock over haswell.
c. 14nm runs cooler, you get a decent overclock without the need for exotic cooling.
d. The Z170 chipset permits the use of much faster ssd devices on the horizon. Samsung 950 pro for example:

Nothing Really. I would get a monitor which comes with HDMI.
