there's a few things about that build.

That watercooling doesn't really look great, go for a Kuhler H2O 920 or a Corsair Hydro.

Also a TN Acer screen can be "okay" as second screen, but definitely not as primary. The colors suck ass and TN just ruins your day. For your primary screen grab an IPS/E-IPS screen, you'll find the colors much more lovely. iiyama provides good IPS screens for a nice deal, but I'm not sure of their availability worldwide.

For SSDs : Crucial is the best brand

Last point is your power supply. 1000w is absolutely overkill. 600w will cover a non-overclocked system. If you plan to overclock, 700/800w will be more than enough. 1000w is what you'd take for a multi-gpu build.
