Hoping to get some feedback here on the components I've selected.

Open to suggestions on better stuff and or what I may be missing. I'm sure there should be some thermal paste included here somewhere. where should I be applying that in my build??

Am I better off buying a separate block to cool GPU?? Or are these reliable??

Planning to use this liquid cooling kit, will be expanding the loop to the GPU, will this be a strong enough pump?? EK-KIT P280: https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-kit-p280

What power supply would you all suggest???

What am I missing?? What have I done wrong?? Is there anything that can be done better?? My budget isn't unlimited per se but I would like to have a solid case setup so that I can sub out GPU/CPU if I get something better down the road.



 
I was thinking about something along these lines for the monitor https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RY5DG5988 or https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA2RY58W4563&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Monitors+-+LCD+Flat+Panel-_-9SIA2RY58W4563&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIs5fOnP_H1gIVi5V-Ch0-JgbiEAQYASABEgIn6_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds, and Windows 10 for my OS. I just want to make sure I have the nitty gritty down as I have no idea what I'm doing. I am planning on getting a 144hz white something for the monitor, this is all I know. I will be using a Razer Blackwidow/Deathadder combo.

Edit: Also considering biting the bullet on a black monitor, in which case I'd go for a 144hz FHD Asus
 
Those are 1080p monitors .But ur setup can easily handle 4k or ultra wide 1440p 144hz easily .I suggest u Pixio 347c which is 100hz ultra wide 1440p .It's a best monitor for its price
 


Good suggestion! I like that idea, However, would you suggest that over a 144hz monitor if I will be playing the occasional FPS?? Overwatch is my go-to time killer atm
