Over spending on the motherboard, and you should go with 3600Mhz CL16 RAM. Otherwise mostly fine.

That board wouldn't be worth 250 even with the heatsinks made out of pure gold. Those AIOs have the highest failure rates, I'd go air,

 

 

Hey now don't disrespect enermax and steal their nr 1 position for failing coolers!

You're overspending on a couple of components... Definitely seems like you would benefit from more RAM and more storage.

is meh quality and also nVME for gaming is pointless as games can't make use of the tech.

Not sure what you're talking about. 970 Evo Plus is one of the best PCIe 3.0 drives you can get. Also, while you may not need NVMe for gaming now, DirectStorage is coming soon, and you will then. There's just no point in buying a SATA SSD unless you need so much storage that you can't accomplish it with the on board M.2 slots or even an NVMe expansion card.

 

Everything else is valid though. NZXT products range from meh to flaming dumpster fire (literally in some cases). There's always better options, usually at less cost.
