First off, I have no idea how the LMG forum works, is this even in the right place? Sorry if its not aha

 

Now for the actual reason for the post, I'm looking at building a PC for myself, I have some knowledge but I'm not the best with performance matching (good GPU but bad CPU). I'm curious about the parts I picked, are some way better than others? Bottle necks or anything?

I have a PC Part Picker link that you guys can see my build. I plan on getting a custom water cooling loop so that's why the CPU cooler is a different price, its just a place holder. I guesstimated the price of a custom loop so please say if that's too low/high for a custom loop. And should I water cool the GPU or not? I initially plan not to water cool the card because it will be easier to upgrade cards in the future.

Also one last question, can a 750D Airflow Edition fit a triple rad in the top?
