Looking for critique/help

So I've been planning to build a deskcase for a while now, and I had to learn to use SketchUp, even if I don't use it very well and this is what I have in mind:

At first I'm thinking to watercool the CPU and later on watercool the GPU, that's why there's a reservoir and a radiator.
But my main issue is the GPU placement, and airflow.
Would you think airflow would be enough and be able to flow like it should?
Should I rotate the GPU and have it upside down and have the extender go under it? Because I'd like to see the fans on the GPU, not the backplate.

How much space do you have above the GPU? If it's more than about 5cm/2in you should have more than acceptable airflow with 3 fans on either side. However you will need to rotate the GPU 180 degrees from where it's pictured there, you probably want to be able to access its IO.

If that's the only thing wrong, great! Thank you so much!
