Not all all really, I just want to know if it is overkill or not - i know the wraith will suffice of course - Just wondering if this is overkill that's all. I like a cool PC

lol, just kidding. However no, it is not overkill, but you should get the corsair 100i v2 for the same price, it is better,

The fans are most likely better on the 100i and it is one of the most popular aios out there. However I don't own one, so I can't confirm. This is what they sound like:

Ah yea, I think if I replace the fans with maybe some SP120 Quiet Editions the fan noise shouldn't be as bad at load. I think I'll get one of these. APPRECIATED <3
