Oh no, not another 570 thread!?!??! Yes, unfortunately its another one but please cut me some slack. I've been out of the PC build since 2013 (my last build). Its time to upgrade and I'm looking to work with the Crystal 570X.
I've watched a lot of reviews on youtube and read a couple of the threads on here as well. But I just want to make sure I'm getting all the parts I need on the first order. This by far will be best build I've done for myself, never had an AIO before and gonna attempt to OC.
So first off what I'm looking at getting for the next build:

First off the AIO, I was going to go with the H115i but I heard that its geared more towards big OC's. I'm probably going to do a light to mild OC if I can figure it out properly. In this link below it shows a 570X with a top mounted Corsair AIO rads and fans. This mostly depends on the Mobo clearance on whether or not I'll be able to pull it off, if not can I mount the radiator to the front behind the case fans?

For the RAM I wanted to go with the RGB but don't know if it will fit, but this Dominator is CAS 15 vs RGB was CAS 16 for the same price. Or should I go with the LPX RAM for clearance safety?
Also since I want to use the LL Fans am I going to need the commander pro to make it easier with the LED strips as well? Do i still use the controller that is already in the 570X and hook it to the Commander?
I'm thinking I will need
2 3-Pack LL120 Fans (1 3-pack for the front and the other for the top and rear exhaust
Commander Pro (comes with 4 LED strips, are they long enough or do I need to buy more nodes?)
Hopefully, this will all work out, thanks for any advice and information you can give me!
