Airflow issue. Second Build. Solid Rig?
Top / front intake and rear / top exhaust is pretty standard.
Unless the bottom of the case is going to but closed off due to carpet or a lot of dust, you can flip the psu so the fan faces down to isolate its cooling. Leaving it as is also find if you don't mind higher psu temps for lower gpu temps.
The cooler is overkill imo. The money is better put towards a cheaper cooler and a 8700k in the first place.

If you want to avoid a silver heatsink look, the Windale 6 is a good alternative: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ntwqqs/fsp-group-windale-6-600-cfm-cpu-cooler-ac602
If you're going to replace the fan with the same RGB fans for looks, the Ereboss Core would perform a bit better: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MQRFf7/raijintek-ereboss-core-edition-fanless-cpu-cooler-0r100015
