I'd say a 1060 6GB and a 6 core CPU like a coffee lake Core i7 or Ryzen 5 1600 would be good, do you have any preferences?

water cooling on a 12 thread cpu

I would strongly suggest against that. Air cooling is enough.

the cpu will be running 100% for 12 hours regularly

Air cooling will still be enough. Espicially since liquid cooling (even AIOs) is mucho expensive in Canada.

If you go Ryzen, you won't need water cooling unless you go overclocking over 1.35volts. Not sure about Intel though.

There was really no possible way to fit that in with the budget without sacrificing performance with lesser hardware. Besides, that WD Blue is pretty fast for me, and I have the 5400RPM version.

It's going to be hard fitting anything else in with the insanely high RAM prices right now... But I like this build:
