Long story short, I've got money coming in so I'm wanting to upgrade my entire setup / battlestation.

I need help with the following;

1) Picking a case - The one I use at the moment is quite big and I'm not familiar with good cases. I'm looking for suggestions on a smaller case with a clear panel which would be ideal for putting on a desk. Also, RBG / LED lighting. Needless to say has to be large enough to fit components (see below).

2) Upgrading Components - All the components below marked with an asterisk (*) I'm looking to upgrade. I'm thinking of getting a GTX 2080 but I'm not very clued up on RAM or CPU's, but mine are a good few years old so open to replacing them.

3) Water-cooling - Never done it, don't have a clue about it, so looking for recommended products.

Price isn't too much of an issue but suggestions on both medium range and high range items are appreciated.

Current System:
NZXT Phantom 530*
Maximus VII Hero
Intel Core i5 4670k*
2x Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4GB*
GTX 980*
Corsair RM850X Modular PSU
4x SSD
2x HDD



Thank you! :)

If you aren't upgrading the motherboard, then there isn't much CPU upgrade. You could do an i7-4xxx CPU but not a significant upgrade for gaming.
