    That's not a terrible idea. The 5600X really doesn't need much more than a Hyper 212, a 3080 on the other hand is really hot. If you're just gonna water cool one, I would make it the GPU. 
     
    Personally, If I were going through the effort to water cool a system, I'd want to water cool everything, both CPU and GPU, but only the GPU would really benefit from it anyway. 
     
    OK, this is the plan I'd go with. I'd test temps with the back case fan both as intake and exhaust, I'd expect intake to perform a little better but it's worth testing both. 
     
    I've always just done distilled water with a kill coil and/or a couple drops of PT Nuke. It's the best performing, it's cheap, and it doesn't have any issues like you can get with pastel or other colored fluids. 
     
    Not a bad idea, but you can usually save a bit of money by buying all the parts individually and mixing/matching brand. In my personal loop I've got EKWB res and pump, Heatkiller CPU block, Bykski GPU block, XSPC radiator, another different generic radiator I got used 6 years ago, EK ZMT tubing (if you go soft tubing this stuff is awesome), and Bitspower fittings. Still, if you don't wanna have to think about making sure you got everything or that you accidentally bought the wrong size fittings for the tubing, one of those kits is a decent idea. 
     
    Yeah that's possible, assuming you don't want Pastel fluids (don't recommend them anyway, especially for a beginner). Just get a pack of green dye and add in a couple drops to the reservoir. Just be warned that if you add colored fluid to a loop, those parts have a tendency to stay that color long after you want to change it. Green is one of the ones that doesn't stain that much (red is terrible), but just keep it in mind. 
     
    I'd just keep it transparent personally, but it's up to you.
