Any reason you're going with 9th gen Intel instead of 10th or 11th gen? A 10700k is basically just a cooler 9900k for less money. Unless you're getting a deal on it used, there's not a great reason to go for a 9900k over a 10700k, especially since the motherboard prices are pretty similar. 

 

The SSD is fine, it'll work but you can get a NVMe Drive like the WD SN550 that is faster in every way for the same price. 

 

Cooler is fine.

 

Motherboard is also fine, but again, get something Z490 or Z590 and get a 10700k as the CPU instead. It just makes more sense.

 

The case isn't great, the airflow in it is terrible and IMO the build quality isn't amazing. Something like the Phanteks P300a or P360a is similar in price with better airflow and build quaity.

 

No complaints about the memory, GPU, or PSU

 

Everything will work, there's just a lot of questionable decisions about which parts to go with.

Thank you for the help

Will you post when you press the power button? Yes... and that's about all that should be achieved with this configuration.

 

• Motherboard & CPU: Older =/= better value, especially in a market where markups are based purely on compared performance. @RONOTHAN##has a good solution here.

• Storage: SATA vs NVMe value becomes highlighted right at the 1TB mark; Saving ~15% for a drive that's 80% slower is just not a good move at this scale of pricing. Consider the Adata XPG Gammix S7 or Samsung 970 Evo Plus instead.
• Case: NZXT's H510 lineup is a one-way ticket to turning your system into a space heater that dies after 2 weeks. Please consider something from the Phanteks Eclipse lineup or Fractal's Meshify lineup.

• Power Supply: In no universe does this system require 850W; If you chose it for an upgrade path, that's fine, but 650W would be just as comfortable & save you a buck.
