all looks pretty good to me. consider getting a bigger nvme drive maybe a 1tb is funds is available. to put your main games and things on as well as your operating system.

Few minor suggestions. Do you plan on OCing the CPU? If you are but not by much, I recommend dropping the AIO cooler for a cheaper Air cooler. Something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212. Use the money you save to up the storage space on the main drive, something like the ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO 1TB.

Fair enough, the rest of the parts i suggested are really subjective but it gives you an idea of how much head room you have not to mention the RTX 3070 being an extra 500$. You got this! Congrats on the new build, always an exciting time.
