Any suggestions on better choices for a desktop mainly for gaming and schoolwork..

Specs are :

Case: Corsair 500RR.. dont know much about cases, however this was recommended for me
Processor: i7 2600k 8MB Cache 3.4ghz Or i5 2500k
Motherboard: asus p8z68 vpro
heatsink: corsair hydro h70 liquid cooling --> Dont know if i should just stick with fans instead of liquid cooling
memory: Corsair vengence 16gb
HD: 1TB Seagate barracuda sata III with 64mb cache
video card: evga GeForce GTX 560 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI or 448 cores
power supply: Cooler master 600 watt extreme power plus OR Corsair CX600 V2 600 watt --> is this enough or too much power?

Any help with lowering price without hindering performance would be much appreciated !
Also, it just fits under my budget of $1500 taxes in.
