All EKWB except the GPU block which is Bykski (only new block I could find for my 980ti). 320mm rad up top, 280mm in front, top fans set to about 950rpm, front fans set to about 1050rpm for silent operation. After a few hours of gaming, the GPU hit a max of 50C, the 3700x was saw-toothing between 55-70C, both overclocked.
My main motivation for doing this was the GPU. A few months ago I installed Precision X1 and noticed my GPU was thermal throttling bad. A few seconds after starting a game it would shoot to 90C and run at the base clock to maintain ~88C. Now the GPU is overclocked ~20% and maintains the max boost clock while staying nice and cool. Very happy with the results!

If you have money left over I would recommend getting de8aurs custom water-cooling bracket meant for Ryzen 3000 it can lower Ur temps by up to 10 degrees because of the design it puts more pressure on the die side it's really worth it costs around 30$ so not bank breaking and the max Ur 3700x will see is 60°c
