My First Gaming PC Build (Feedback Please)

I've decided to build a gaming PC to replace my Laptop. I decided on a $1200 Budget US and used PC Part Picker to choose parts. The goal of this build is longevity and future upgrade-ability. 

 

Here's the link to PC Part Picker

I really want feedback and anything would help.

 

PS I know i'm a tad over budget

thermal paste is unnecessary, get a 240gb SSD for a boot drive, you can find a similarly priced X370/470 board with onboard wifi. don't get the G3, it has protection issues.

If fully modular is not an absolute must you could switch to the semi modular Seasonic Focus Gold 750W and save funds.

For close to the same cost in fully modular this Thermaltake is great quality.

I'd still suggest a different power supply than the G3 in either case.
