Check the list of validated memory configurations from Gigabyte's website for your motherboard to see if your memory selection is there would be my first suggestion.  My second suggestion is an SSD for a boot drive.

Why are you getting a high end AIO with a i5-6400? Drop to a Cryorig H7, get an i5-6500/7500 and an RX 480

Why the Corsair Hydro with that CPU? Also, why a H270 board, aren't B250 boards cheaper?

Not sure why you're buying 'Ryzen', DDR4, is that the cheapest option in Canada? It would work you know, just wondering.

With a cheaper CPU cooler and motherboard, and maybe RAM, you could afford a better GPU, like a 8gb RX480.

 

Also, even more important, get a SSD drive, even a small 128GB one as a boot drive would make a world of difference.

Does you mum know you're here?

Spoiler

 

I would go for hyper 212 and add SSD. 

You still can get decent cooling/silence/overclocking on it.

And you didn't mention if it is a K processor. If its not that liquid cooler is pointless. Hope you are aware that only processors with K in the end are able to overclock. At this point is not bad to check out mid range ryzen platforms too you might cut the price more.

The H110i is overkill. Consider something like an H60 if you really want an AIO. Better yet, a Cryorig H7 air tower.

 

G.Skill Flare X memory is designed for AMD Ryzen cpu and motherboards. Not Intel.

 

If you will be gaming, see if you can squeeze a GTX 1070 into the build.

 

The PSU is far more than needed. Something around 500W is quite sufficient.

 

 

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
