There Kingston SSD is a bit weak compared to others.

UserBenchmark: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB vs Samsung 840 Evo

1st HDD 120GB Kingston V300 SSD (6Gb/s)

Ditch this and choose the 250GB Samsung 850 EVO. As @difinity mentioned, the V300 is junk.

 

Processor Cooler Corsair H60 Hydro Series Performance Cooler

Get the H80i. See link below for the reason.

Anti-virus Bullguard Internet Security (Free 90 Day Trial)

Bullguard isn't particularly great. Choose the "No anti-virus software" option and download Bitdefender Free or buy ESET NOD32 when you receive the PC.

 

The only thing I would do is put Windows7 pro 64bit on it

A better option IMO would be to keep Windows 8.1 on it and install Classic Shell if you must have an old-school Start Menu. The OS itself uses less RAM than Windows 7 so you'll end up with more available for your video/photo editing and games.
