My budget is somewhere in the 800$ range, maybe a little more, maybe a little less.  I want to have to potential to play 1080p and 1440p (maybe) off the bat.  I program for school and experiment with making my own games too.  I want something that is fast pretty and reliable hence the parts i chose based on dozens of reviews and footage from builders on youtube I respect.

This seems to be an alright build. All cables that you'll need should be included with the items you purchace.

Whatever you do, do not buy the PSU you picked, pretty low quality. You might struggle a bit in 1440p but it can be done, as long as you're not expecting high+ settings. I didn't find your case on PCPP so you can add that in on your own, and any extra fans you might want.

Actually, unless you are going with the STRIX mobo for appearance purposes, you could likely get the same features for cheaper. You may also want to invest in a 550 or 600 watt power supply (don't worry about the rating, as long as it's bronze or better, it's fine). A non modular power supply would be *slightly* cheaper, but I would keep a semi-modular because it is worth the little bit extra.

 

As for that motherboard, I personally use a $99 Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite, although it does not have built-in WiFi. It's not a huge difference, and personally, I think your Strix mobo looks fantastic and is worth every penny.
