My budget for this build is a little over $5500 monitor and peripherals included.

I need help in improving my build, the fans shown are my choices for the case fans.

I have 4 dilemma's about this build

A.I'm having a hard time choosing the best PSU and CPU cooler (liquid is preferred) ? Are the one's which I've chosen already OK? or is there something better?

B.Which case should i get?

C.what type of storage should i get ? can i get 2 m.2 SSD or should i widen my range and get 1 m.2, 1 SSD and 1 HDD ? what would be the best one?

D. Ram choice, which ram should i get to get the most optimal speed? and is 32gb enough for heavy gaming and using the PC as a workstation?

Please help me improve it.

Any help would be deeply and very much appreciated.

Do you like rgb or flat colors? 
do you like a bold look on the case or minimal?

Favorite colors ?

Purpose of the machine, and also what type of games you play ?

I am kinda getting into the whole rgb and tempered glass trend.

The color scheme that i thought of was a mix between white black and purple . As for the games i have a wide range i play some graphically taxing games like doom , battlefield and Witcher 3 and would also like to play games that will be coming to the pc in the future.

Thanks by the way.

This is a build more focused on editing etc as it has the ThreadRipper

 

yet i also made a more gaming focused rig.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KBs4r7

 

 

That gaming rig, I would change to a 1080ti and leave it like that.

SLI as well CF is broken and not very well supported these days.

 

No point on dual cards anymore.

Mostly Heavy gaming and a couple of video editing and school work like 3d rendering and other stuff.

For gaming, SLI is pretty pointless. Most games have poor scaling, if they even support it. Add to that the standard SLI issues, and it's not worth it, imo. Still picked a PSU to handle it, in case you want that.

Imo, the 8700K or 7820X would best suit your use case. Chose a custom loop, rather than an AiO.

Any good AiO you could recommend? because I don't really have that much experience on doing custom loops.

A custom loop apparently isn't that hard. It will have better quality components than an AiO, so it will cool better, and make the system look like it's worth as much as it is. That was also the reason for choosing the MSI Armor 1080 Ti, as that thing has an aweful cooler. 

The X62 is fairly high performance AiO. Personally, I would rather go with a good air cooler, if you absolutely don't want to do a custom loop
