Looks good! But you don't really need water cooling.

Go for the Noctua NH-D12. Newegg.com - Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler

Yes, it may be more expensive than the H60, but it's the best aircooler out there, and outperforms watercooling builds.

So thinking about it, if i switched out the H60 for the Noctua i would have to change the memory because its to big. How does

Noctua NH-D14 - $89.99
Newegg.com - Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler

Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 9-9-9-24 8GB 1600Mhz @1.35v - $69.99
Newegg.com - Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 996988

I would actually have stuck with the Corsair memory, Corsair are one of the best memory makers ATM, or G.Skill. Mushkin have fallen behind recently. So either stick with the memory you OP'd or take a look a G.Skill memory, particularly their Ripjaws series.

As far as I know the corsair ram won't add any tangiable benefit over the mushkins and at 1.35v im sure you can overclock em to quite nicely.

You could also reduce the psu wattage if you don't think you will sli it.
