I could go 40mm, but would my cheap fans be a bottleneck? Or do the fans not really make a difference? (The ones I specified are not Static Pressure optimized)

Are you sure? Remember I'm also watercooling the 1080 and motherboard in addition to the 8700k Its the EK "Slim Edition" which is a fancy way of saying 28mm Rad

I'm using a GTX 1080 from EVGA, 8700k, and Asus Strix Z370-E MOBO (Which will be watercooled with EK monoblock) I plan on using these cheap RGB fans on my rad, and a 28mm Slim Edition Rad from EK. My Question is: is 360mm enough? What temps will I see? I plan to do some LIGHT overclocking. I'd really like to stick to the Slim Edition 360 if I can get away with it. Also, which of these 1080s should I buy? There are so many options and I have a loose grasp on why they all cost different prices. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487244&cm_re=GTX_1080-_-14-487-244-_-Product

Going to do a hardline build in the h700i I really want to fit this res on that cable management bar, online it says clearance is 224mm, but the res is 250mm. Do you think I can mount it forward a touch and have clearance? Also, I want a separate pump/res, would this work? https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-d5-vario-motor-laing-d5-vario-motor What else do I need to buy with the pump to make it work? What is a pump top?
