For the setup you've posted you don't need a 850w PSU, 650w is fine. But this does change if you intended to get a 2nd 1080ti.
This PSU is reviewed incredibly well. It has a 10 year warranty, is currently reduced in price and is fully modular for easy cable management.

An alternative CPU cooler that performs about the same thermally but is quieter and much cheaper, is the Noctua NH-D15, which comes with a 6 year warranty. An added benefit of air coolers is that they can't leak cooling liquid and destroy your PC. This is very unlikely to happen with an AIO, but is possible.

For gaming you don't need 32GB of RAM, 16GB is plenty. For 3600mhz v 3200mhz there are diminishing returns, with most recommending 3200mhz as the best price v performance. But, on OCuk there is only a £20 difference between 3200mhz and a nice set of 3600mhz Samsung B-die RAM (B-die allows for easier/better overclocking and lower CAS latencies).

The GPU you've chosen is a very well reviewed model, so no issues there. You could start looking at how important customer support and RMA procedures are for you. For example, I don't think MSI has a UK RMA centre, but EVGA, Gigabyte and KFA2 do. This would mean much faster turn-around times if your GPU did develop a fault. EVGA are usually seen as having the best customer service in the industry, and do allow you to extend the warranty for many years beyond the standard 3.
