Other details (The CPU and GPU were already bought, monitor (not included in budget) has not been added yet, as I do not know the best refresh rate.

I am just looking for anyone who has the time to look at or just glance over the parts compatibility (AIO and GPU size in case, motherboard, or just any obvious issues in general) as it is my first build, and despite my research, I am still scared 😄 Thankyou.

Some suggestions.

 

There is no need for an AIO. In fact a good air tower can perform as well as a 240 AIO. Consider the Peerless Assassin 120 SE. Inexpensive and very good.

 

Since the motherboard doesn't support front panel USB-C ports, consider an excellent airflow case without a front panel USB-C port. (The case I suggest offers a USB-C port as an add-on if you ever get a motherboard with appropriate support.)

 

Consider a better NVMe drive. One with a hardware cache for better performance as a system drive.

You have given me much to think about CPU cooling wise, would air towers like the one suggested and others do a better job temperature wise for the i9-9900k than a 240 aio?

As good as yes. Better, possibly. They can also be quieter and don't have the limited life of an AIO.
