Arne you are correct, the fans need to be installed above the radiator in this case except if you are using a very thin radiator, this is the only thing I do not like about the EK Predator, the way the pump is installed hinders installation, I installed an EK Predator 360 in a Primo case and with both rad and fans it comes very close to the motherboard components, motherboard had to be installed first then the Predator, not ideal
I purchased a very similar case, the Primo, it is large enough for everything and then some, and it is very heavy, you may run into one issue that I did, the metal plate on the back of the motherboard hits the rubber grommets that are used where power cables pass through the motherboard tray and puts a bind on the board when tightened, you may have to remove some of the rubber grommets so the board can fit without strain.
For memory I have one suggestion for hassle free high speed memory, Gskill 3200mhz cl14-14-14-36, for 32MB get the 4x8 kit, if you want 64MB get the 8x8 module kit, I have used these kits and they easily clock to 3400mhz with a BW-E chip, these kits have been the easiest kits to use in my experience with the least amount of tuning for stability
for cooling, use either an AIO, Corsair h115i or EK predator, etc. 280 minimum not a 240, 360 = better, or get a kit like you mention if you think you may expand later, don't get an AIO with intentions of incorporating it into a custom loop, get a good expandable kit with a 360 (3x120mm fans) or larger radiator, a radiator that uses 140mm fans would be better as larger fans can push the same or more air at a lower rpm
