I'm planning on building a pc by the end of the summer and I've planned most of my build. I want it to be primarily for 1440p gaming. I might not be able to afford all of this, but I can push the build off a few months until I get more money.

So far I think this is what I'm going to use:

Does anyone know if so far this is a good build? Should I change any of the parts or have suggestions of what I should add?

earthwarrior : You might want to look into what graphics cards give free games.  For example, the GTX 970 comes with one of three free games: Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, and The Crew.  I'm not sure what others come with free games.

For a case, I would recommend the Corsair 760T.
I just got it myself and love it. Its very spacious, has great ventilation, and has a nice clear side panel so you can look at your build.

As for the PSU, don't go cheap... you'll regret it.
I would probably go with Antec, or if you wanna go a bit cheaper, Corsair.
A modular PSU is nice too so you don't have a lot of unnecessary wiring.

That video card is a great choice. I wouldn't worry too much about whatever game they give you for free.

Edit:
I just realized you are looking at Corsair liquid cooling.
I dunno if they got better, but the quality control for those wasn't that great and they had air in the systems (which kills the pumps) or just outright leaked and left a terrible mess to clean up.
I had 2 fail on me. 1 lasted 6 months(had air... could hear it bubbling from time to time before it died), the other a little over a year (pump just stopped working).

I personally would say go with air cooling, but if you are set on getting liquid cooling, look into another brand or at least see if Corsair's QC got better with these.

Vanelan : I changed the psu and cpu cooler. I think the psu is good now, but I'm not 100% sure about the cooler. Its really popular, but idk if theres something better.
Also are there any cheaper cases you'd recommend?

I been told that cooler works well, only thing tho, its aluminum. I prefer copper... it has better heat dissipation.
Only thing is that copper will probably cost a bit more.

Well, that and I had bad luck with Cooler Master...

That is a much better PSU.

UPDATE:
I switched my PSU and CPU Cooler. Someone recommended them to me because they were about the same price, but better.
Also they said that I shouldn't get an SSD from kingston so I need to find another one.
I switched my ram from 16gb to 8gb.

If you have any comments please post!
