Your parts are fine but you don't need the liquid cooling as your processor isn't overclockable. Even the stock cooler would suffice.

[anand1467]

Well, video editing on a mini ITX...
If you would like to do that, the system you propose can do that. But since you are getting a ATX case (so far), why not go for the slightly cheaper GA-Z87M-D3H where you can at least upgrade it with some graphics card later on, to boost video editing performance. The Z87M looks to support even dual SLI so that could be interesting.

On the board you have in mind, the wifi doesn't work in OS X, but there are alternatives.
So if that needs to be bought (or not), but I have an ATX case anyway, and can expand and upgrade performance later on for a little bit of money.... your choice!
