Hi all, 

Just trying to get a second opinion on this build, would everything fit in the case nicely? Or would I run into mounting issues with the CPU cooler?

if anyone has any suggestions I am open to help and criticism. 

 

(I already have a SSD at home that's why it isn't included) 

 

Thank you.

B250 won't work on coffeelake CPUs, wait for H310 or get a z370 board. no need for a 240mm AIO, just use the stock cooler.

Yep. Wrong socket revision. The 100-series and 200-series boards don't work with Coffee Lake despite both being LGA1151. Coffee Lake uses a different revision of the socket, which means you need a 300-series board. Also, your i5 isn't overclockable, so getting a beefy cooler is beyond useless. The stock cooler is capable enough for this 65W chip.

1) dont buy a video card now.  wait a month.

 

2) motherboard is overkill

3) at the <$100 price range, youre better off with an air cooler
