tatmMRKIV, what exactly is your question? :confused: Do you need help to design the cooling system?
The hardware you listed, seems a pretty good choice for OC'ing.
Do your homework on the memory kit (compatibility) as it will affect your overall OC potential - actually if OC is your main goal you should consider less RAM, like 2X4GB, but very high frequency (of course, you can have 4x4GB too, or even higher, but it will cost...).
Personally, i don't like HDDs with too high capacity - if there's a failure, you're loosing a lot. But it's your call...
Now, regarding the cooling part.
Let's start with the end - forget the peltier cooling! As nice is it sounds, as suck can be... The biggest problem with it is that can cool below ambient temp, which means that you will have condensations. You have to be very dedicated to deal with that...
As I see, you're going water cooling way - good choice, I like it! :cool: A main question you have to answer yourself is if you want a closed kit or a custom loop? The closed kit (as the H100 is) is simply to use, but cools only the CPU - and usually their efficiency is more closer to the top air coolers, way below the custom loop's efficiency.
The XSPC Raystorm and the RIVE block pushes toward a custom loop. Getting a waterblock for the RAM is OK, but don't expect too much from it... If you have a limited budget, focus more on the graphic card selection and a block for that! If you're budget is really tight, just forget the custom loop, it can get expensive...
You didn't mention anything about the radiator(s)... Don't forget, those are dissipating the heat. How many of them you want (it depends on how many components you want to cool)? Which is your case, will those rads fit in? Or you want an external cooling?

it might be in a 90degree room even
and id get a 125$gpu block and then some compression 1/2-3/4compression fitting with tygen
gonna do a red black theme
At those room temps, I would suggest you to get an A/C! Not for your computer, but for you... And I'm serious with this!
Have you considered an external radiator? You could get a very big one with a lot of fans... - but still won't get you below ambient temp...

,lol i have one thats what the 75-85 is
So, you have an A/C and your room temps still vary in that big range (even getting 90)?! I'm telling you, humans were not designed for higher room temps than 76-78... Anything above it is considered heavy physical work... even if you're just sleeping at that temps...
When I said external, I meant one with a big radiator and with a lot of fans - but still at ambient temps. Anything which cools below the ambient temperature will cause the humidity from the air to precipitate (condensate) on the cooler surfaces. At that point will start your problems... Isolating a complete system from condensations is a pain in the ..., even for the LN2 usage people isolate their stuff only temporarily, not for long period of times...

so what ur saying is if i start OCing i should turn my ac down to 70?
Yes, mate, that's exactly what i'm saying! Cooler the ambient temp is more room you will have for a stable OC.
As kkn said: "oc in winter time and regular in summer time" - I actually really like this! :cool:
