I wouldn't buy a Slim Air Cooler until you have the build together and can measure out how much space you have. You're making a custom-modded case. That's going to bring a lot of challenges together that you just won't foresee. Mounting issues, especially. 

 

Also, you have no storage listed. I'd get a M.2 drive.

Fixed a bit 

 

The gtx 1060 3GB is just an awful buy. 

 

Included an SFX PSU. 

 

 

You can probably do a TFX PSU depending on how you plan on doing things:

Keep in mind you also need storage
