Hi! I am going to build a PC with the following specs :

Intel Core i5 8400
Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Ultra Gaming
Asus ROG Strix GTX 1070 OC
8GB DDR4 RAM
1TB Western Digital Black HDD
250GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD
Corsair H100i V2 or H110i or H80i V2 (Difference is not much, like 30€, do not know which one to get, maybe you can help me on this one. I choose Corsair just to be safe in case a leak happens, I have heard they refund the whole system.)
And possibly the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G3 Power Supply. Is this PSU good? I see that people praise EVGA for their quality products.

These are my questions. Thanks for reading this post.

A decent air cooler will get the job done for less money, with less noise, and no reliability issues. I would take the extra money and get 16gb of memory instead of 8.

Here's a ~$50 air cooler keeping a 6-core Intel CPU at 4.2 GHz at 55-61 C over ambient (so probably low 80s actual temp, depending on you room temperature).

And that's running Prime95, which is going to make it hotter than any game would. Also, an 8400 is only rated to boost to 4.0 GHz on a single core. 6 core turbo will probably be lower.
