I am thinking of building a wc system and was wondering if the amount of coolent you used would affect the temp, looking around at reservoirs that are quite small, if you were to make one that would hold 4x more coolant for example, would this reduce the temp?

No. More water means it'll take longer to reach equilibrium temperature but will not affect what the equilibrium temperature is.
If you have so much water that it takes a few hours to reach equilibrium, and you don't run the computer under full load 24/7, then having lots of water can be an advantage. It smooths out the spikes in temperature, the greater the mass of water, the more smoothed the temperature spikes will be.
^makes stability testing with a lot of water very time consuming
