Your case supports 280/240mm radiator. No objection there with AIO.
Power Supply : The biggest mistake you...

Too be honest my V300 was solid. I got the 850 evo now. In terms of real world noticeable performance I don't think your average person will tell the difference in speed. However, the length of the warranty and the claimed reliability did the upgrade for me.
 


You might of got one of the good ones before they mislead people.
They produced good ones at first then started using lower priced parts with less performance keeping the price to consumers the same when they got caught they lowered the price but still made a killing while they could on the price.
