You won't need watercooling for a budget CPU also if you can choose a different case under $100 we can give you better options for the CPU. You can swap the monitor for an AOC C24G2 165hz, but it's not on PC Part Picker. I also added a HDD since we had some budget left which we can use for storage. Up to you if you need it or not.

Why are you not going for ryzen 5 5600x, if anyways are going to upgrade it afterwards?

Get a 750+W psu

Also look into peripherals you are missing a mouse on the list, you can get a better monitor though

Rest all are fine

The Pc is extremely overpowered for the games and that monitor. So first question: Do you just want to spend that money and get the best for it or do you want to save a lot of Money and get what is appropriate for the Games you play?

Intel 11400 is a better choice than the CPU you've picked
You don't need an AIO for that set up
You don't need to buy thermal paste
I wouldn't spend an additional $100 on fans you don't need
Those speakers are likely trash, get some Mackies for the same price
Keyboard is kind of meh. Get something like a G.Skill KM780 and put the money saved into a better monitor
