Can't see anything wrong with it. Nicely put together setup. The only thing i'd change is going for Trident Z5 Neo memory not Ripjaws S5, since it has EXPO profile for AMD platforms. Otherwise everything looks good. 9.5/10 build 😉

As @QuantumSingularity says, your build is practically perfect. All i did here was cost compression, cutting cost to only what you need.

I agree with the others, this is pretty much a perfect build, id maybe consider a 1000W PSU tho 850W should be fine. 

 

Also with the sizes on the cooler, gpu and case just look up the tech sheets for those and look at the sizes. Tho i think you should be good.

The only thing I would change is the case so that you have better airflow. The 4000D is a hose job. It comes with a measeley 120mm front intake fan and one at the rear. The Fractal Design Focus 2 comes with 2x140mm front intake fans.

Fractal Design Focus 2 ATX Mid Tower Case

Add this fan to that case for a rear exhaust fan.

ARCTIC P12 120mm 4-Pin Case Fan 

 

Less expensive cpu cooler that will outperform most if not all 240mm AIO's.

Is EXPO only used for overclocking? because im not planning on overclocking

Technically every memory is overclocking to get to the advertised speeds, but it's overclocking in the sense that CPU boost frequency is overclocking. XMP is the only standard we had until very recently. EXPO is AMD's profile. It's a bit better for AMD rigs because it improves stability and performance, but costs a tiny bit more. Still it's worth it on any AMD build. Ripjaws S5 (XMP) vs Trident Z5 Neo (EXPO) both at 6000MHz CL30, the Neo would run supposedly more stable and should provide 2-3% more performance.
