Looks like you knew what you were getting into before buying your parts, many people don't, so that's good! Careful with the keyboard though, it's such a subjective thing, I have a Corsair K60 that I never use because I don't like Cherry MX Reds that everyone used to call "gaming" switches. I much prefer my Cherry MX Black Keyboard now.
What are you doing for sound?
Storage will be 500-750$ if you go with the NVMe + SATA I suggested
Case looks like 300-350$ probably since you are going with wow-factor
Chair, if you go gaming AND comfortable, it may be quite expensive can easily climb up to 300-500$ here
Radiator fans could easily go up to 100$ if you start doing push-pull etc
Other accessories 50-150$ probably?
so that's 1300~1700$ just there...
I hear custom loops cost 600-800$ USD for CPU + GPU, about 350$ USD for CPU only. In CAD even on the cheap end that's 500-800$ basically.
Even when we cheap out a bit we are approaching 7k$ budget... if we go absolute cheapest we're still be talking 5.5-6K$.
Cheap out on the chair, get only one drive for now, get a temporary air cooler perhaps and let water cooling be a project for another time? I think otherwise we will be in the "my wife will literally kill me" territory. Even with 1 drive (330$) + case (320$) + chair (170$) + accessories (50$) + any kind of cooler (50?$) + taxes and shipping (50-80$), we will be at around 1k$, getting to your ~5k$ budget basically
