Noob Build HALP

Hi so i had a decent PC around a year ago but sold for some stupid reason and now i want to get a new one. Although i can build a PC just fine im lacking in the hardware knowledge so came here for some advice.

I would normally rely on a friend for this but i think hes fed up of me asking questions, so this is my build so far but a few things i am wondering. If i wanted to make the build quieter what fans should i go for (2 for radiator and 3 for case in/out). Also will the PSU have enough juice for this setup or should i up it for future possible SLI etc.

Any other suggestions are welcome as you can tell im not exactly savvy with hardware choices all that much! Thanks

Hi so i looked around a bit and saw a post you had put up for a £1500+ spec so i moved some things around and could use a hand finishing up?

CPU/MOBO: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-022-AS

GFX: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-148-GI

SSD: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-183-SA

PSU: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-107-CS

Case: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CM-222-TL

Cooler: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-032-CS

Basically looking at what memory to go for if this build doesnt look too bad so far?

Also is there a significant advantage to prebuilt water coolers over fancooler? Either performance or acustic?

Thanks for your help means a lot

Thanks for your reply the system will be mainly for gaiming but will include some video editing and streaming so thought the newer i7 would help with this.
I find all the hardware choices confusing as hell tbh but i was just trying to make a build around the £1800 mark (inc VAT) as i have a £2k budget but that includes my monitor which ive already decided on the BenQ XL2411Z.

If you could explain one thing to me as i keep getting linked the Supernova PSU just wondering if it worth spending the little more for a "Platinum" rated PSU like the corsair one i linked.
Thanks for your time
