What will it be used for?

 

As for parts list good choice basically overall.

 

I would ditch the masterliquid as even a cheap scythe fuma 2 matches it and it's a rather meh liquid cooler using pretty cheap parts.

I also advice against getting a qvo ssd as these are awfully slow and only really good for cold storage. The 870 is a lot better than the older 860 qvo but a similar priced wd blue or mx500 is leagues better and costs the same.

I will be using it for gaming, as well as some casual coding. Haven't decided which games yet, probably some Battlefield. Thanks for the advice Re the cooler.

 

PS the Sata SSD IS an 870, not a 860

Am aware it is still slow about the speed of a generic hdd since it is a pure lower end qlc drive. So that is why I don't recommend it. Also it has pretty terrible write durability. One of the rare cases I just recommend a hdd over an ssd :p.

Sorry, I misread your first post, it seemed like you were recommended the 870 over the 860.

 

The Sata SSD is mainly for cold storage. I have a secondary 500Gb NVME (Same as the 1Tb), I didn't include it in the list because I didn't buy it, it was gifted to me,  I will use it as a boot drive, so my main storage will be the 1Tb NVME, I don't plan on running any raid with the two NVME's

Either way for cold storage I recommend a big hdd then. Or if you really want a ssd either of the ones I mentioned as they are legit the same price but so much better in every single way.
