No peripherals, I have monitor and KB/M. Ram I have one set already so can’t change that.

a 240mm liquid cooler seems a bit excessive on a 5600x to me (but there's nothing really wrong with it), other than that the build looks fine.

I'd swap the SSD to a WD SN750, it's only 8 GBP (or whatever the currency is) more and it performs a lot better. The 980 non-pro is a DRAMless drive, so Windows performance isn't great.

I'd ditch the AIO, just use the stock cooler, and if you want something better go for a decent air cooler. The 5600X runs hot, but not 240 AIO hot. The Sythe Fuma 2 should be good and cheaper for this system.

I'm not a fan of the case, it's not the easiest thing to build in. If you like the looks of it, sure, but you might be better off going with a Phanteks P400a instead.

You can go for this system as spec'd now and be just fine, but doing the things I mentioned above would get you a better value system
