Spending >$300 for a custom loop for better temps+oc than air cooling? Sure.

But in a $1k build? No.

Positive Pressure + Cable management = Lower Temps

750W is more than enough. The PSU that you've chosen isn't modular, but it shouldn't be too big a deal in a HAF case, as cable management in mid towers is much more manageable than in a SFF case. But, modular will make your life easier; you'll pay a premium for that though.

I'd recommend a Sunbeam Twister http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835207009 over the 212+. It gives better temps at a lower price
If you feel like spending more, go for a Silver Arrow or Noctua or upgrade your fans to Gentle Typhoons (~$15-$20 a fan)


Also, mechanical keyboard

Is your RAM 1600, 1833?
What are its timings?

4x4 isn't even needed unless you're doing heavy graphical editing or such. You'll lose OCability on your RAM if you go 4x4 as well
