Not much from me about the build, but I would recommend not buying windows for that much. As much as it seems as a scam I would get a key from eBay.

That Windows key is a single-use license for $109. You could buy 22 on Ebay for that much and even if 20 of them don't work you still save money. You'll also avoid the bloatware the building company's going to inevitably install on your PC that you have to spend time pruning anyway.

Without knowing any of the brands, we can't suggest too much.  Tho I'd lose the AIO unless you really like the look.  Stock cooler for 3600 is fine.

You are overpaying on ALOT of components. 
-Windows 10
-The Mobo
The CPU cooler is way too overkill and is a bad choice considering your budget, and we don't know what the PSU is. It could be a crappy Apevia Prestige for all we know

Also, I have heard many reports of Redux not delivering their PCS. Some people have ordered over two months ago and have not received their PCS.

Keep that in mind
