You should also consider, do you actually need a m.2 SSD. From my experience a regular sata SSD is sufficient. You will not get that difference like going from HDD to SSD. Also going for an overclocked RAM will not have a drastic performance boost and kingston is offering way cheaper DIMMs.
2. Am I safe buying reference design cards for both hashcat and some gaming/video editing?
3. The case I'm buying has 3 fans, 2 intake in the front, one output in the back. There is room for either a CPU watercooler or 3 120mm fans or 2 140mm fans at the top, should I add these in too?
4. Am I safe using a cheap CPU cooler if I plan on overclocking this CPU and using it for rather processor intensive stuff?
2. you should get a reference card, there are a lot of topics about this in the hardware section.
3. it depends on what airflow you want to get. in most cases 3 fans are enough with two for the intake and one for out.
4. this cooler will fit your needs if you do not overclock it.
