Them touching isn't going to do anything catastrophic, but with my own experience I personally try and avoid it as your liquid temp is going to be higher as it would be in direct contact with the gpu(mainly under load).
 
Maybe some LTT cable ties would make it look a little cleaner looking "LTTSTORE.com"

You're completely missing the fact that it's not really meant for individuals.
Yes, the top spec is expensive. However I bet if you looked to a comprobaly specced PC from Dell, the price would be similar, if not ridiculously more.
Why?
Systems like that are meant for corporations, or people doing a significant amount of professional work. Since it's a tax write off, you can charge significantly more for it. Same with the price of the wheels. It's a niche part in an already niche market, thus, the price is higher. Judging by the performance increases over lesser machines, it's probably worth it for the people that are going to be spending the money.
 
Find me a consumer motherboard that can take 1.5TB of RAM. Oh right. They don't exist.

Because Ryzen is honestly becoming better than intel for mainstream platform. More value for your money. If you have a GTX 1070, get a 3700x or higher Ryzen CPU and upgrade the gpu in a few years.

Most people would upgrade their GPU, I would too. I recently upgraded my gpu to a gtx 1080 and I still have a ryzen 5 1400 so I am experiencing some bottlenecking in some games and tasks so If I had unlimited budget for one upgrade I would go for a Ryzen 9 3900X. 

I have always been a fan of the nzxt cases, they come with case fans and if you get the models with a "i" in the name, you get a smart fan controller that you can use nzxt cam to control along with the rgb it comes with. The cases are great values, I would check out the h510i case.

Is it the fans or the pump?  AIO pumps can and often are quite noisy. 

Im currently using a 2018 Macbook pro with touchbar (The $1800 one) and plan on upgrading to the 16 inch by the time the 2020 or the 2021 macbook pros come out. I am a student who will be graduating highschool soon and I utilize the power of my macbook pro for video editing and coding.

if the power delivery is sufficient and you dont want the extra features sure

Forums, web browsing, music (Tidal Hi-Fi and MusicBee for FLACs), rip CDs, watch movies and study.

A combination of a few things:
University Work - This is a big one. A lot of spreadsheets. A lot of reading notes. A lot of downloading tutorial questions. Committee Stuff - I'm on 2 committees at University. I'm the treasurer for my hall committee which means I spend a lot of time doing accounts, ordering stuff, and booking stuff for events (or paying for stuff other people book). I'm also the Publicity Rep for my uni's Scottish Country Dance Society so that means creating a lot of Facebook events, and sending emails inviting people. Generally consuming content - I'm a Uni student so I don't have a TV (and I wouldn't be able to afford a TV license anyway) which means most of my Netflix, YouTube, Floatplane content is consumed through my PC. Also my best speakers are connected to my TV as well so it's used for music when I'm in my room. Communicating - I am one of the rare people born this century that can type long messages a lot faster on a keyboard than I can on a touchscreen (even with a swipe keyboard) so I tend to respond to a lot of messages on things like Facebook using my computer as well. I also use Discord on my PC a lot more than on my phone.

I honestly expected pages of just 'p0rn' 

Like Reddit Browsing, Edit Videos sometimes( although i push the Render to my Home Server ). 

Who the hell watches porn on their gaming/work PC? Personally I've never experienced the appeal, especially when there is  such a thing as a smartphone.

General web stuff, email, some YouTube watching, usually when my wife has commandeered the living room smart TV and it's my main music storage space, via iTunes.

Same here....and web browsing as well as actual work. One thing about a nice gaming rig folks...they can do quite a bit of anything you can throw at them and then some!

....and forums

Stress test the absolute FUCK out of it. I do this because I can't get over how good it is compared to my old pc. My old pc had a CPU from 2008, and a GT630 gpu.

I code and work from my pc. I also spin up test environments to deploy and test said code. Also web browsing and general nerdy stuff. When i had my machine running windows, i also gamed like a mofo.

Welcome to the 64GB Ram club. lol

I make low quality YouTube videos and buy stuff online.

make sure you update imovie to the most that it will let you.

gaming PC using 8700k and work PC using Threadripper 1950x I installed a 240rad on both. They side beside each other at my house where I can use both.

I use my computer to assist others with the removal of their many many viruses. I implore my vast knowledge and funny sounding accent to assist mostly elders and they're kind enough to send me gift cards for my troubles. ? 

VMs, Photoshop, Programming, Linguistics, some wiriting, YouTube...
