Spend the extra money (if you can) for a 250GB SSD or higher. A 120GB will fill up fairly quick.

Power supply is overkill. A 700 watt unit from Corsair, Antec, XFX, EVGA, or Seasonic would probably be more than enough.

I'd get a different case.

Should be able to game comfortably at 1440p with that setup. Rest of it looks okay. I'd personally drop the water cooler for the time being, or get a better one. Entry level water coolers like that aren't really worth the money versus a decent air cooler.

The 120 GB ssd is only for a boot ssd and other really important information, I am thinking about upgrading in the future so i might change the 1000 Watt PSU but ill do some research about future games. Can you recomend any good coolers for a cpu?

Agreed with Darren.
Really its small for just a boot ssd too, after its partitioned, has a paging file, installed all your drivers, you will probably still end up installing the odd program and maybe you download a few things from the web, they sound like just little things, but they soon add up and then out of the blue you get the message you don't have the required space, damn. Its happened to me and so many others I know, then its messing around moving stuff around and the question what do I move and where. I would save up a little longer and get at least a 240gb, you will aslo get more gigs for your buck and you don't need to keep telling programs to install to a different location, it can also be annoying for other reasons, like when you want to do something like a patch or update and it sometimes says that you need to specify the install location of the program because it can't find it.

So should i just get rid of my 1 tb HDD and put that money into a ssd? I dont download very much just things like songs and games but i was looking at gta v and its a really large file so i might just get a 1 tb SSD.
 
120 GB is "enough" but given the pretty small price jump to a drive twice the size, it's worth it. Unless you have an absolutely massive store of games/movies/pictures/whatever to store, a 1TB drive will last you a long time anyway. I'd do as John suggested, 250GB SSD + 1TB HDD.
