How cool will my system stay with these parts?

I am making a compact build and here is what I got:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Gleb_Kalashnikov/saved/FmCFTW

Will there be enough airflow to keep the cpu cool? I am planning to overclock.

Will the Noctua CPU fan keep it cool enough considering I will have 2 140mm Noctua fans at the front for intake and 1 120mm fan rear for exhaust (included with case). I am not worried for the GPU since it's a hybrid card and should have no problem with cooling.

Another possibility: I could drop the Noctua CPU fan and go for an AIO instead.

If you guys think I should go for an AIO instead, then which one. I don't want a really loud system (which is why I had Noctua fans everywhere).

Thank you in advance!

That sounds like a very capable and quiet cooling solution! The Noctua is generally considered as one of the best aircoolers on the market. You should be able to run a high OC, and have decent temps at the same time.

However, the cooler will just barely fit inside that case, since it is quite tall. Also i'm not too sure you can fit 2 140mm fans in the front of the case.

An AIO will will probably be difficult to fit in the case, since you also have to make space for a radiator for the Hybrid GPU.

I noticed you picked a GTX1080, and a 1080p monitor. I really think that the GPU is waaaaaaay overkill for that monitor. You should probably go for a 4k monitor, with that setup, or at least 1440p...

Don't worry I planned out everything. You can fit 2 140mm fans at the front or an AIO radiator as big as 280mm. As well as that, you can fit a (up to) 280mm radiator at the top as well, although the top doesn't include an air filter. The hybrid GPU radiator is 120mm which will fit at the bottom (has special place for it). So, should I stick with Noctua or make a change for the AIO (although that might result in a setup with only 1 rear exhaust fan, not sure if that is a good idea).

As for the monitor, unfortunately, because of all the other parts, I didn't have enough funds for even a 1440p monitor. I will probably just go for a 1080p monitor for now and later on upgrade to a higher resolution. Maybe you can recommend me some monitors since I have a hard time picking. The current one I picked is about my maximum budget and it seemed like an ok choice. If there is a better 1080p or 1440p monitor that you can recommend - I am open to suggestions.

Thank you!
