Custom loop in a NZXT Manta

I had plans to later this year do my first custom loop, upgrading from my aging MSI GTX 970 and 4790k to a 7700k and 1080 ti. And the manta caught my eye, and I want to take the next step and do a custom loop. As previously stated I was planning to use a 7700k and 1080ti, together with a Z270i ROG from asus and the nzxt manta. Would I fit 2 280mm rads in there, with a pump res combo from like ekwb? Was also planning on using soft tubing as it's my first time watercooling. I'm planning to overclock. And no, I don't "need" watercooling, but I love building computers and would consider myself at least part enthusiast.

Would also love a color neutral build that is rgb friendly. 

Money is not a problem and I have a high budget as I got a well paid job for the summer. 

 

Thanks in advance, b3rt1l

@b3rt1l you could go for a display that has full 1440p and 144hz ;) and maybe IPS instead of this "crooked" resolution thats not 1440p or 1080p

as you said "budget" is no problem and more resolution is great, if you like those widescreen you can wait for acers upcoming X34P or get their new fancy display for like 2 grand

I don't feel like it's worth upgrading my XR3501 as I'm having no problem with it and I was wanting to upgrade my pc anyways
