The SSD is like any other HD in that once full its full - you will need to install onto the other HD yourself
Liquid coolers these days are maintenance free tho to be honest you could get away without one as you not overclocking ( similary you could drop the RAM to 1333MHz
PSU has over 300w "free" so is plenty man enough
If you have taken a computer out of a box before and set up you will have no problem doing the same again, basically a matter of connecting monitor,keyboard and mouse and plugging in:yes:

HDDS: Unless the drives are in Raid Stripe which is not the case, you will indeed have to manually install games onto your 2TB HDD. I would recommend only installing games you play often and those which involve a lot of constant loading (such as MMO's) onto your SSD and installing everything else onto your 2TB secondary HDD.
PSU: 850W is more than enoughf or your current system spec, and should support a second 7970 in Xfire should you decide to do so further down the line.
Installation: Unless you find plugging the green cable into the green socket difficult I doubt you will require home installation assistance
Nice spec, although if you mainly intend to game I would recommend opting for an i5 3550K CPU or greater, Geforce 680 GTX and 8GB of RAM to maximize your gaming performance under budget.

I'll just point out that you can't SLI with this mobo, so don't expect to be able to add a 2nd GTX680 in the future. If you intend to SLI you need to up the mobo to the P8Z77-V.
Edit Oh you've already posted your spec in another thread why did you start a new one lol. I said exactly the same thing in the other thread :walkman:
