a crudial 120g ssd drive, 1 gig asus video card, 16 gigs g-skill ram, 650 watt c/m psu

Hard to say. You've already got RAM; will it run on any of the MBs you've linked? You didn't say what RAM you selected.....


May want to stick with the Haswell items as it's newer technology and the MB may have forward compatibility whereas the Z77 is at the end of the cycle. And check to see that your "closed water loop" will have adapters for whatever you choose.

Hi

I'am ok if I have to get more ram.
Just looking for opinions on what
is a solid good motherboard and the best setup within
these price ranges. I'am leaning towards the Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
board

Check out this link to MB reviews by some of the OCF pro's, go from there, not that your thinking is flawed:
