Not sure how much you are looking to spend, on the custom loop, but this would give you a couple hundred extra, to build it.

PSU is not a quality unit. Also do not recommend AMD at this time. It is an old/dead platform, being replaced early next year. Either wait for Zen, or go with an intel skylake based build. I wouldn't expect very high settings, at 4k either. The R9 290 is also old. What is your PC hardware budget?

custom water loop, i just like the look of it and like the idea of open front case on the wall.
i dont really have a budget as im in a good job, i firstly want to learn on a mid range build with the outlook of building a high end i7 after learning on lesser costing hardware in the case of mistakes and damage. plus there are a lot of variables with an i7 like different chipsets and boards that seem daunting to a ps4, xbox one gamer converting to pc.
so lets say around 1500 sterling to start then whatever the best costs on second build.
