I agree with ROG get a 4770k and a Z87 board.
If the rig is for gaming I'd get a I5 4670k not the 4770k.
Do you really need 16g or ram?
You do not need a 1000w PSU, not even close, a 500w-650w quality unit for 1 cpu and gpu is plenty!

I would recommend getting the 4770K and a Z87 boardfor gaming, which is what I did. The recommendation of an I5 4670K is cool for todays games. But in the next two years games may indeed start to take advantage of the 4770K's additional 4 virtual threads. Either is fine for today's gaming.

I not only have 16g of ram but I have it on two slots leaving two open because I don't know what will be used two years from now. I have 16g as I turn off my paging completely. Not recommended for the faint of heart but as I was reminded, this is overclockers.

I agree that 1000W for what you are doing is overkill but I would go to the 650W to 750W range which is the current price break. This would assure you enough power to SLI later. Make sure you get one that is highly rated and produces clean power.
 
Can someone tell me what radiators i can use
and if the circuit is good
 
You will need to do more research and planing before you start go on a shopping spree.
Also watch a lot of youtube video on water cooling and learn from the expert
One YouTube channel i recommend is Singularitycomputer

I have watched a lot of videos and looked at a lot of rigs and instruction manuals for planning what do I do now

Welcome to OCFs. What delta's are you aiming for?

Not to come off as harsh but if you're not sure what to do now after reading and watching rigs than I would suggest slowing down and taking a look at build logs to give you an idea. Don't skimp through reading up intro to water cooling or it will bite you in the butt down the road. Have seen a few victims the past month that rushed it.

Also, take a look at the 900D build log in my signature to give you a clear idea of the potential with such a massive case.
 
Ive watched videos
Read build logs
Drawn it out several times
What do I need to do now?
