Welcome to the forum xXCRUSHEDXx !

First, no one can say how strong this system would be in 10 years time...lol...however I would think 4-5 yrs might be a reasonable assumption for spending at the top end for all CPU, RAM, Mobo and GPU components.   This Velox would fly high.

With this kind of budget and a fully liquid cooled CPU + GPU, I think you would be far better off using an Aventum X build, as it is the best cool everything case on the planet with 3 big radiators and custom water handling block all built in.   A whopping 14 case fans and that rad space would push cooling performance and Overclocks to the very highest level.

Improvements:
1) Consider upgrading the Ram to Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB...DS parts only carry a 1 yr warranty, Corsair beats that.

2) Remember that you can ask for tubing quick disconnects and a drain valve...DS won't do this unless you request it. You selected black tubing but white cables...just making sure as most folks would tend to match cables and tubing, or use clear tubing.. so make sure you have it as desired. Clear fluid is a smart choice so you can easily see when it's time for fluid change.

3) The Drive 1 500 GB selection is just a SATA III M.2 SSD.   Suggest using a 5x faster M.2 NVME Samsung 970 Evo Pro or even faster 970 Evo Plus.

4) The DS PSU only carries the 1 yr system warranty. Consider using Corsair for longer Corsair warranties and high quality.

5) Don't suggest the Windows 10 Op System tweak.
Un-necessary these days.

See what you think....

In build comments I wrote please ensure the water cooling system has tubing quick disconnects and a drain valve .
I’m looking at aventum x builds right now as well.

Perfect!    Yup the 850w will be enough power for one Ti.    This will be an extremely strong system for quite a long time.   When you need more storage, remember that you have a 2nd M.2 NVME SSD slot to use on the motherboard...

I like that you took advantage of the white paint job for Velox...not many cases offer the option, so it’s a nice way to personalize your rig!    DS has been showing the white Velox in their advertising...looks cool.

Wow. I sure wish i knew all that. I am in stage 5 with mt aventum x. I had no idea i had to ask for quick connections and a drain. And i asked for green fluid. Didn't know that was a bad choice.

This will be my first liquid cooled machine ever.. and i apparently chose things that will ultimately make things harder on myself. Don't really want to have my machine go back to the drawing board as it were. Sadness.

I believe Aventum X comes with all Quick Disconnects...but a drain valve prob not.
Check with them to confirm.     

Clear fluid is a smart choice for being able to judge clarity of coolant, but colors are more fun...green being a fav of mine.   No worries...gonna just need top offs for a couple years before any coolant change needed.
