Yes. That's a good way to order your parts.

Not watercooling the RAM on the graphics card probably won't make any difference to your setup for the overclocks or the GPU temps.

The size of the reservoir isn't the big issue for it working well. What matters is that it is easy to use (easy to refill), gets bubbles out quickly, and doesn't grow algae well. Be warned that acrylic reservoirs in the open are great breeding grounds for algae. The easiest loop to take care of is not exposed to light. But, you can get around that by using water additives and changing water fairly frequently. Search for additives in the forums and read some of the bazillion threads on that issue if you want to know.
