Few questions.

16GB RGB Memory....Corsair or G.Skills? and what frequency 3000 or 3200?
AIO Cooler. HZXT or Corsair? Concerns about Kraken loose fit and CAM buggy software. If Corsair, which model? H115i - H110i GTX or other variants?
Also is my chosen PSU ok?


Thanks for advice / comments or criticism in advance.

I would go with Corsair. I've been using their RAM on this platform and it works without hiccups. If price isn't a big difference, grab the DDR4-3200 kit. Performance wise, both H110i and H115i are pretty close.
