first pc build

I'm going to apologize up front if I sound rude...

• Next time, post the component names themselves with the URL. Price is also a nice plus. The URL is just there for verification. Nobody wants to click on a half dozen links.
• The motherboard is not compatible with the processor. The motherboard is a socket LGA2011 board. The processor is meant for a socket LGA1155 board. Either find a compatible motherboard, or find a compatible processor.
• You don't need water cooling unless you plan on overclocking.
• You don't have a video card, unless you really want to play on Intel's integrated graphics.
• You don't need 16GB of RAM, 8GB is fine.
• The power supply is overkill. If you're going with a single video card setup and don't plan on adding another, you'll need 500W-600W tops. If you want to do SLI/Crossfire, add 150W to each video card you include

yea i fixed the post. i changed the motherboard, but my friend says to get the sabertooth... i think this might be way too much so i countered with this :

ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3 Intel Z68 Motherboard - ATX, Intel Z68 Express, Socket H2 (LGA1155), 2200MHz DDR3 (O.C.), SATA 6.0 Gb/s, RAID, 8-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0, CrossFireX/SLI, Bluetooth - ($169.99)

i do apoligize for my ignorance in making pc's and the posting style of this website.
but i really would like you opinions

Don't get the video card, you're $10 from a stock GTX 680 at that point (and I don't even know why EVGA is bothering...). I'd recommend the Superclocked version, which runs for about $430, but I don't know if the almost 10% increase in price delivers almost 10% increase in performance.

The power supply is still overkill. And despite my initial estimates, get something that floats around 700W-750W.

You also forgot to add memory.
