Im not sure if the order of the components matter, but i always do, in your case i would do, Pump > GPU > Rad > Res > Pump.  You seem to have the order in a backwards fashion.  It looks like you have it going Pump > Rad > Gpu > Res > Pump.  It is also coming in at the bottom of the res, to then work its way out of the top, which seems to me that would have to make the pump work harder, instead of using the natural flow of things going from the top to the bottom.  You may not be getting proper flow.

$62... that's the price of an xbox game... lol

Don't forget that it has Wifi 6 as well  802.11ax!  Ill try and take a picture of how much room you would have with a graphics card installed.  Granted i have a water block on my card, so it is significantly thinner than if it had the stock cooler on there.  With a water block you may have the proper clearance to put that heatkiller on the SB

Both of the above options are good for what you need and the price.  If you wanted to bump up, the 2060 Super would be a good bet too since it got the upgrade in vram vs the original 2060.

It really depends.  I managed to use my stock EVGA back plate with my EKWB waterblock by attaching the 4 corners of the back plate with long screws.  I had to do some modification of the back plate in order to make it work, but it works.  I had to utilize my dremel to make things happy.  If you have a little bit of know-how, you can definitely make it work.  

For reference, 
 
 

Jayztwocents literally just did a video on cooling this card, and essentially said it isnt worth it.  He found that doing a more aggressive fan curve, was equal to water cooling it.  Granted it was louder, but no extra money was spent.

I would honestly bypass the 580 and just get a 590... they can be had for about the same price on newegg.

This post makes me sad.... that much money spent, and it looks like something that a blind kid put together

Save yourself some money and build your own system.... you can get a case that flows much better than any dell case, and you can put a nice 2080 or 2080ti in there with no worries about cooling.  I have my 2080 on water, and have had it since release with no issues .
 
 

One Stronger card over two weaker ones... always.

Cheat less, and ish like this wont happen....

I would honestly buy a new replacement drive and just try and clone the old drive to the new one.  You can get a 1 TB drive fairly cheap or  just get a 2TB 7200 rpm drive and call it a day.

So you need a 1080ti to play simcity?  What games are you playing and at what resolution? If you are doing 1080p, a gtx 1060 would suffice.

I've used Primochill's UV pink and UV purple dye with no issues.  Since i use the Primochill soft tubing, it comes with the sysprep and The liquid utopia.  The liquid utopia is your protection against algae and corrosion, it works great.

Makes sense.  Aside from using dual channel or quad, ive always been a fan of multiple sticks just in case one goes bad, at least you still have another to get you by until you replace them.  Nice builds none the less, i was just curious

It will work if the data you are cloning is less than the capacity of the new drive.  1TB hd with only 300gb used, to a 500gb ssd = no problem.  It seems that you need to clean some stuff up by moving it to another drive prior to a clone, or get a 1TB ssd I use acronis to do clones all the time.
