I recently bought a Cooler Master Seidon 120 – Compact All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan please tell me what the risks are and could it leak and ruin my build?

Yes it can leak, and yes it could ruin your build. My first foray into watercooling (on the system I am on now) was the Cooler Master Eisberg 240L. Long story short, it leaked (on my new 980 GTX) after about 8 months. Without going into a long explanation, the seam on the plastic shell that housed the pump and copper plate started to separate. Fortunately I was able to get my system back up and running after a few days. It was touch and go though. I really thought I was going to have to send all my hardware into Cooler Master for them to test prior to them reimbursing me.

I do think it's a rare occurrence, but it does happen.

I was a little skeptical about using the replacement (Cooler Master Glacer 240L) that Cooler Master sent...

There's always a risk, but it's up to the user to decide to go that route. I have an old Corsair H60 on an X58 build of mine. Been a "daily driver" for years. No problems. Also used another Corair H60i kit on an Ivy Bridge based HTPC for about 1.5 yrs used daily. Again, no problems. However, its worth mentioning that the vast majority of the AIO kits are made using low quality parts.
