RAM : Dont take 3600Mhz, it's useless. The biggest bump in performance is from 2666Mhz to 3200Mhz. Higher is a waste of money and you will only gain 3fps in games... I whould take 2x8Gb 3200Mhz cl14/cl16. 

The rest seems fine to me even tho you could get better storage. You want to install big games and you only have 1Tb. You should get a 1Tb HDD for 50$.

One other thing I would change is the 360mm AIO. The ibuypower ones are pretty decent and the 360mm one is $72 less. To be honest you could easily get away bumping it down to a 240mm aio, but the 360mm ibuypower aio is not that much more expensive.

Depends on what you want. Look closely into the specs and identify if you want -lower noise levels -RGB -the radiator thickness

I think the iBuypower one is only cheaper because is has no RGB on the fans.

Tbh if op isnt gonna oc, a 240mm would be completely fine, 360mm would just be wasting money

No plans to OC off the bat but I would like that option down the line and the price difference is only about $20 between the two. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

True. If it was a $50+ price difference I might rethink but the difference is fairly miniscule when it comes to the total cost of the build.
