perhaps this instead, good PSU for less and better cooling plus more appropriate (and cheaper) storage.

Whats the difference between this ssd and the samsung one, also i highly doubt theres BitFenix psu's where i live sadly. And i`m gonna consider the darkpro.I really wanted to make the build look good. Thats why i was going with RGB Liquid cooler.

The Samsung drive is an NVMe SSD, which is pointless for a gaming PC. The one I picked is SATA, but still M.2 so it's convenient and small. The RGB cooler is probably acceptable but if you want performance it's hard to say no to the drp4, really good quality cooler. 

 

If you're getting the G3 for a good price locally then that's fine, but try to get a G2 instead, it's a little better. You can also save on the PSU by getting less watts of course.

I did some research, The recommended Dark Rock Pro 4 wont clear ram sticks. Its compatible to 40mm ram sticks and vengeance rgb pro is 51mm stick.
