Custom in desk pc

I'm making a fully custom pc desk out of 2mm thick sheet metal.

The motherboard tray will have a height of 7.5cm, and 2.85cm for the cable managment and hdd below it.

The 2 radiators on each side(EK P420M) are angled at 28 degrees, since, most of the height will be from the radiators, to not add additional height, the rads are pulled towards the front, leaving 40mm from the end of the rad to the backside of the case.

I will have an EK V3000 Pro + D5 distro block(or maybe a dual 240mm D5 pump+reservoir combo), i dont know if one D5 will be fine with 2 big rads and 2 water blocks.

I will have 6 Noctua NH A14 G2 in the front as intake, and 6 more as exhaust(3 per radiator).

The PSU will be outside, its bulky, ugly, and a heat generating component, also, if something starts leaking, it wont die.

If you have any questions or additional ideas, please ask.

Thanks

Which motherboard should i get

Im upgrading from a Z77 Sabertooth and I7 3770K.

I love the looks of the sabertooth boards, especially the Z77 and Z170.

Im thinking of between two boards,

ProArt X870E Creator WiFi

Crosshair Dark Hero X870E

The the creator looks cheaper and less Sabertooth between the two, but whats pulling me towards it, is 10Gig networking, extra pcie slot and the server features.

The Dark Hero, has a clean black look, and more Sabertooth like, i like the looks of it, the extra cooling, better OC, and better Bios features (Oc wise)
