Since this is a gift, buying all the components for his son to then build himself seems like a pretty neat idea.

They make that model with the AURA lights feature as well, if you wanted that. It's like $20 more. I noticed your previous mobo had that....

Does that case not have any 5.25" drives at all? Sure you don't need a DVD drive?

I'm not getting the unclocked K series Intel CPU so the overclocking features don't mean much to me.

Corsair's H110 is a great product. Whisper quiet water cooling. Looks nice behind your acrylic case too. The heat management software it comes with is nice, and you can change the L.E.D color on the heat sink to match the theme of your build.
Another plus is that you don't have some massive radiator putting physical stress on your MoBo, nor does it get in the way. You get a water cooled CPU with out the hassle of leak testing or building your own water cooled set up, and it's cheaper too. I'm a huge fan of the H110.

Indeed. The CPU at least. I bought one for a build i did a year or so ago. I built a computer to do multi-media work. It sits right next to my desk so i wanted it to be very quiet while on the phone.
This thing is like a freakin' Prius...you can barely tell it's running. Installation is straight forward and easy, and the cost is minimal. You can find it for $100 or less. Just have to make sure that your case has the provisions to install a radiator at the top. Most do. ***EDIT*** To clarify, i use the H100i. Just checked.
