I am making a new build for gaming... I know that when you look at the list you will say "HOLY $H!T That is overkill." I know, that was the point of the build. This Rig will be overclocked and will shread thru everything I throw at it... This is my first time doing a watercooled build and I just want to make sure that there will be no problems and I have everything I need on the list. I really just want to buy everything and put it together like a lego set. If there is anything I am missing please let me know.

If you're going overkill and want the best looks go fully modular psu and get single color or even custom cables? Also if your case allows you could go for another radiator to help keep everything chily. (i see the case allows the 360mm rad up front and up top but 280mm may be best)

Also not the fastest ram you can get but its your budget

 

Your thermal compound, you may want to look into liquid metal or grizzly, it can bottleneck your cooling solution.

 

and your fans come with the case unless you want 6, its way cheaper with the case
