You picked some great parts there! I personally wouldnt change anything lol & can't really comment on the watercooling as I dont have a custom loop (yet! )

Edit: get 4x4GB Corsair DDR4 instead of 2x 8GB!

There have been reports of people having issues with combining different DDR4 kits(2 kits of the same manufacturer bought seperately)

Huh K, will look into it. Also do you recommend the Rampage V Extreme?

Do you have / need a 1080p or 1440p? Peripherals? Windows?

Yea I totally do, I don't regret for a second going for the R5E. If you're into overclocking you're gonna love it lol.

Reason why I mentioned the RAM thing, seeing as you took 2x 8GB, I assumed you would add more ram later & I'm just trying to save you from any potential issues that could come from that

Well, I suppose you won't want a better monitor... (1440p).

 

Anyway, the main change: get rid of that Corsair RAM, and go for this. It's cheaper, it's faster, and it's red (to match the theme). It can't get any better.

Its faster? Um I dont think so. Basically Speed divided by latency = Actual Speed

So for ADATA - 2800/17 = 161

And Corsair got 171.

I have had bad experiance with Kingston and HyperX and then found Corsair. Currently using my 3 set of corsair ram and it works great. 

Have you used ADATA?

I would advise against 2800mhz ram in general. When using xmp it'll use the 125 strap and put the bclk at 127. Which some ppl have found an annoying bclk to work with when overclocking their system.
