The psu will still be under warranty as you get 10 years with the EVGA G2. Maybe try and RMA it, and then sell the replacement once you get it back ?

No need for an expensive cooler for a 6 core cpu. A $30ish air cooler will do fine (Something like an Arctic Freezer 34 esports duo). Also AMD are doing a promotion with the R5 3600X where you can claim a free game. The 3600X is more expensive but the free game might offset the overall price. 

 

You can drop the thermal paste as well. The cooler will come with some.

 

That Asus board is terrible. I would go with one of MSI B450 mATX boards like the Gaming Plus or Mortar if you can get one.

Crappy VRM.

 

Not sure what you mean by peace of mind, but your money so up to you. Just remember that air coolers can't leak or have failed pumps. Only thing that can fail is the fan.
