This is the new build with the great advice I got from everyone.  My only questions would be if the cooler would be sufficient for the 8700K and if there's any other glaring issues?

If you don't plan to OC the CPU then the H5 might be good enough, or if you're not sure whether you need 3Tb HDD, you can cut the HDD capacity for an even better air cooler. I also highly agree with this PC case, it's a great value for airflow vs price. Why don't take the 860 Evo M.2 SSD instead of 2.5" version? It's the same price and can save up space inside the case for better cable management.

My system specs:

I think saving M.2 slots for NVMe drives is worth a couple extra cables.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
