First gaming PC

[Comacchio]

So as per title I'm looking to buy a gaming PC & monitor, budget around £1400 max. Primary game will be DayZ, but would like to be able to play at 1440p. Other uses will be light photo editing/stacking but few and far between, so looking to optimize for gaming. How is this build looking? Can I do better for similar or less?

If you're not planning on over clocking the CPU cooler is redundant. The stock cooler is fine for stock speeds.

Other than that it looks fine.

Thanks both.

Managed to find a few parts cheaper so final cost is 1399.69. I'm still going for an AIO but a cheaper one as I prefer the look of them.
