I am quite similiar with building in a desk and you are using the same setup as mine so here is my advice(s):
Edit:
Since you are going with 780 Ti and watercooling I suggest you should use EVGA 780ti copper which is prebuilt with a waterblock. Just make sure you use right fittings!

First of all its all matter of a choice so you can go with any cooling kits but I would suggest xspc raystorm 750 kit or any nice kit with big radiators.
