Looking at buying in about 3 months time, still un-decided on the monitor situations but looking at runing a VR headset at some point.

If your looking to buy in 3 months you might as well not make a build list with the current market. Prices change daily and stock is unreliable at best.

The graphics card will blow your budget...

And the CPU cooler is a bit small for the case. The case supports 420 mm radiators and you only picked 280 mm, so you only use 2/3 of the space.
You could go for a 420 mm radiator or maybe get the meshify 2 compact with a 240 mm top or 280 mm front. But this is just the look.

I was thinking that, but I’m going to start planing and buying the parts I can ie case , fans cables and then buy the core parts at once

I was thinking the GPU would do that… think I might look at using my grx970 till I save a bit more or if I change out parts to save. 
 

I didn’t even think of the AIO sizing… I might have a play around with some combination and see what I come up with

If you do that anyway, you can try to find similar looking fans for AIO and case. 

 

Also I dont know how much you are into RGB. Personally, I would prefer fans with a glowing circle but with a non RGB inside. This way you would minimize the risk of seeing wobbling. If the sticker is not perfectly centered, it wobbles and with RGB you will probably really notice that.
