You have a shit motherboard with a shit chipset that limits the maximum ddr4 memory frequency - officially the board supports maximum 2133 Mhz memory.
You have a lightweight CPU that has a 65w TDP rating, and which officially supports DDR4 up to 1866 Mhz. Unofficially, it will probably do 2133 Mhz or 2400 Mhz - IF the motherboard and chipset limitations allow it.
The water cooling is ridiculous overkill for a processor that can be cooled by a 30$ air cooler just fine.
Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste on cpu and gpu - yeah, like it makes 1 degree celsius of a difference.
The 550ti peaks at 90w of power consumption. The CPU peaks at maybe 60-80 watts.
A 850 watts power supply is ridiculously overkill for that system.
