That's pretty good, but I'd honestly recommend going AMD unless you plan on using Intel's integrated graphics until you buy a GPU.

This is something I pulled together really quickly, doesn't include your rgb fans, but you can pretty easily add those

This is not good value. 
-Why the overpriced AIO for a 65W 6 core CPU?
-That RAM is terrible. CL20. This will perform worse than some 3000MHZ kits.
-WHy the Gen4 drive? Useless.

Yeah isn't the best but I just picked some stuff out pretty fast. The stock cooler would be just fine with the 5600x, or if you're overclocking get a better air cooler or 120 AIO
