    Liquid cpu coolers aren't much use unless it's a custom loop. Better with air.
    Don't think you need that big a psu. I would have said 550w to 600w would be more than enough possibly even 500w but I'm sure someone
    else will give you a better idea about that.
    You can get windows keys on reddit for about €20.
    Sound cards not really needed anymore.

    What ant said, about 600w is enough.

    I'd look into a good sound system with the whole shebang, or else a good pair of headphones.
