Pretty solid build there. 

 

If you don't intend to overclock your 2700X then the Wraith Prism cooler will be quite adequate.

 

The ASUS TUF series of motherboards tend to have somewhat inferior power delivery circuitry than the Strix lineup. This doesn't matter if you plan on running the 2700X at stock or even want to do some moderate overclocking, but for heavy overclocks (4.1Ghz+) this could be a concern.

 

Edit: It's also best to not buy separate kits of memory. Buy what you need from the same kit.

New Build (The Compromise): CPU - i7 9700K @ 5.1Ghz Mobo - ASRock Z390 Taichi | RAM - 16GB G.SKILL TridentZ RGB 3200CL14 @ 3466 14-14-14-30 1T | GPU - ASUS Strix GTX 1080 TI | Cooler - Corsair h100i Pro | SSDs - 500 GB 960 EVO + 500 GB 850 EVO + 1TB MX300 | Case - Coolermaster H500 | PSUEVGA 850 P2 | Monitor - LG 32GK850G-B 144hz 1440p | OSWindows 10 Pro. 

Peripherals - Corsair K70 Lux RGB | Corsair Scimitar RGB | Audio-technica ATH M50X + Antlion Modmic 5 |

CPU/GPU history: Athlon 6000+/HD4850 > i7 2600k/GTX 580, R9 390, R9 Fury > i7 7700K/R9 Fury, 1080TI > Ryzen 1700/1080TI > i7 9700K/1080TI.
