That's a decent liquid cooler, you're probably better off going with a 140mm variant like the Cryorig A80 or the NZXT Kraken X62, or Corsair H110i.

You mean $1100? I would probably drop the idea of getting a liquid cooler and go with an inexpensive air fan, that gives you more money for a better GPU.
My budget for CPU is $1,000USD, the build that I am thinking on right now is the following:
PROCESSOR: Intel Core i7-7700K, S-1151, 4.20GHz
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte micro ATX GA-H110M-H, S-1151, Intel H110, HDMI, USB 3.0, 32GB DDR4 | GA-H110M-H
COOLER: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 120 Liquid Cooling, 120mm, 500-2000RPM
GRAPHICS CARD: PNY NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti XLR8 Gaming OC, 4GB 128-bit GDDR5
RAM: Memoria RAM Kingston HyperX FURY Black DDR4, 2133MHz, 8GB
POWER SUPPLY: Thermaltake TR2, ATX, 120mm, 600W | TR-600CUS
I Think my GPU will bottleneck my CPU, but I am thinking on getting a better one later, if there is any better component that is not so expensive, I would appreciate you to let me know, thank you so much for your time, this would be my first computer built.

Not really that all depends on monitor resolution. But you don't want that PSU either - that's not a unit I would recommend. This is what I would get on your budget:

They're basically the same CPU, the only difference is the i5 has fewer threads. But it won't impact performance at all.
I also think I would get the NZXT S340 over that case.

No you don't need liquid cooling with that configuration. You can always add it later on if you need it, but for the most part, most air coolers are better and safer than most closed liquid loops you can buy.
