Don't really want to tip toe around the subject. Will this run? Are all my components perfectly compatible and be at their full potential? eg; no bottlenecks.

it will work, however, buying a new motherboard is a complete waste of money, as the new cpu is compatible with the one you currently have
 

it MIGHT need a bios update depending on when you bought it, but thats easy to do and there are plenty of tutorials online

 

spend the extra money on a better cpu (the 5700x3d is the best deal right now for gaming on am4)
 

lastly, the watercooling can be replaced with a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 for similar performance but much cheaper

Compatible? Yes.
"Full potential/no bottlenecks"? Probably, but it's impossible to say for sure. You don't want to "tiptoe around the issue", but unfortunately there's no way to give you the kind of certainty you're looking for. There's simply no such thing as "100% safe" in PC building.
There shouldn't be any noticeable bottlenecks with this configuration, but performance will always fluctuate a little.

There's no reason to look at bottlenecks in balanced scenarios like you're creating with your new build,

 

I agree with @ki8aras, B450 motherboard can be as good as B550 one in this situation,

 

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE starts at 55 AU$,

 

there are also few AIOs that are cheaper:

Thermalright Frozen Edge

Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML240L RGB V2

Thermalright Frozen Infinity 240 ARGB

Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240L ARGB V2

 

Oh, do you want B550 MB because current one doesn't have ARGB headers?
