I am building my new PC and I chose to go with the i7-8700k
Will this Corsair Hydro Series, H100i v2 240mm be able to cool the 8700k Efficiently,
Keeping safe temps and making sure it works at its optimum.

I am thinking of Clocks around 4-5 Hz

"i have the h110i and my max temp is 70C at 5.1 1.36v, but that's a delidded cpu, for a cpu that's not delidded u can expect 80C full load 85C in prime (ull never hit these temps in gaming), but my ambient temps right now is 10C. I'd say it's good enough, anything under 85C load is considered safe.

 

As for the delidding thing, obviously there are risks, some say there's a chemical reaction with the die happening slowly with unknown effects, it's safe for a year, beyond that i personally don't know."

This was said to me Should I consider a 62X?

although you should get a cheaper set of ram, ram speed has little effect on coffee lake performance, and use the money to get a better SSD, perhaps a 500gb samsung 850 evo, or if you have the case a 500gb 960 evo

fine, but the power supply is overkill, get a 650w unit, and save about 60 dollars
