A link to a good one around the same price would be much appreciated.

I do not know much about air coolers, but I know this is a popular suggestion

If you want liquid, here you go: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/3XyxFT/corsair-cpu-cooler-cw9060026ww

Oh crap I misread, the PSU is fine right? Also does water cooling need a lot of maintenance and do I have to like buy liquid for it?

Says who ? The silicon lottery applies to any overclocking. The MSI is already a good gpu so no real need to swap it if he prefers the red/black theme.

That's exactly what I said, if he wants to keep the black/red which is totally fine no need to worry it's very similar.

No. It's an AIO. You just apply it to the front mount in your case and to your CPU. It isn't a custom loop so no maintenance or buying liquid. Comes pre-applied.

I would suggest adding this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/gwBv6h/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st3000dm001    and remove the current HDD. 30$ more for 2TB more.

Probably should switch the HDD.

Suggestions say this PC only needs around 400W

You will be fine with a 550W psu. That covers you for pretty much any single gpu setup.

Also the Antec Earthwatts is another good unit (Semi modular version of the Seasonic)

You recommend this? I was just wondering because I am not that keen on maintaining it, I won't even have to get new liquid or do anything to it?

No. Not at all. It's corsair AIO so of course. There are obviously better ones, but they aren't as cheap.

This is the Alpenfohn cooler I mentioned. You can use tall ram with it as well as it is an offset design.

This is a much better one, in terms of looks.

Im really trying not to go over 1.6k. I wanted it to be around 1.5ish but prices keep increasing and dropping, trying not to downgrade anything but I am trying to make sure any upgrades don't cost too much.

BTW, I really liked NZXT as well and thought about theming my build with it, but then found that CAM steals everything about you: credit cards, private info and more. Does not recommend.

Uhhhh.... Never heard about it. From legit company, but TBH you shouldn't get a 140mm AIO when you have the option for 280mm(i think, check it in the specs of the case, under radiator support front)

And a freesync monitor doesn't make sense. I'll try finding you a G sync monitor at the same price tag.

I would take a £40 air cooler over a 120mm AIO. Less things to go wrong and 120mm/140mm are usually best avoided anyway unless space is an issue.

Can't find that keyboard, all of them are a lot more in GBP.

That is US Dollars so no use to the op.

K. Try to search for a corsair keyboard for that price tag, they have the best keyboards.

Do you want an IPS monitor or that doesn't matter to you?

None coming up, this has all increased in price by so much since yesterday. Went to bed with it being under 1.5k and some how its just under 1.6k now with a few things added.

So £1500 for the tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse mat and wifi adapter ? You already have a mouse ?

I know you said on a budget, but if you can add 200$ that would be great. Getting a 1070ti without a G-sync monitor doesn't make sense. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-S2417DG-Gaming-Monitor-Nvidia/dp/B01KZIOSSQ/ref=sr_1_41?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1536956055&sr=1-41&keywords=g+sync+monitor&refinements=p_36%3A428448031
