Yup sounds good im doing a custom loop my self soon so i can overclock my cpu. I wouldn't really recommend buying the all in ones. Do a custom loop and you will get 3to 4 tims as musch performance. + you can add in what you like. A bigger radiator, colours you like, Gpu waterblocks. But if you are going to buy an all in one the corsair h100i is good.

On another note building your own watercooling loop is fun :D

Yep that all lookin good can i make one suggestion. This is to get an 8350 over an 8320 since it is well worth the extra 30-50$ (depending on where you are. It is possibly amd's best bang for buck processor and it overclocks like a beast :)

yep 8320 is enough and no 83250 isnt worth for extra price. You should rather buy this cpu cooler and overclock it later on : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO for about 29$
Rest all other parts makes a great selection of products.
