Try using this to create a nice list, once you do it gives you a permalink in the top left corner of the actual list that you can post here so people can see your hardware choices more easily: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ (It checks that parts are compatible with your chosen case/CPU socket as well)

 

That said, what CPU are you using in that?

Should be fine with that, I'd get a bit better SSD though. Try for a 250GB Samsung 860 Evo, I've seen them on sale for $55 lately and they're a m a z i n g (I have one, it's totally awesome). I'd also advise getting the 8GB 580, it'll do much better in games since with only 4GB you'll actually be limited by your VRAM, not the GPU itself as far as game settings go. Other than that looks bueno.

What is the pc being used for ?

 

In my opinion you are spending too much in the wrong areas. You could easily cut costs to get a better gpu if you are going to be gaming.

Thanks but does the mobo have enough headers? Kind of worrying since it is a smaller board like on case product case it says it supports a 280 rad but does it actually

Then why not get a cheaper cooler (Or use stock) and get the 8 core R7 2700/X insead ? That cooler is overkill for Ryzen

Good idea but do u see any potential issues I could come across building this system

Not for a Ryzen 7 2700X, it'll get to 85C in stress tests or opening reaaaaaally big assets in UE4 at stock settings on the stock cooler, and can still break 80C in bursts on my 280mm rad, though usually it maxes at 76 or so at 4.2Ghz under gaming load.

IDK, look on the spec sheet and count up the fan headers. If the NZXT AIO is like my EVGA one it should have headers for it's own fans, if not then fan splitters are easy to get and are like $6-10.

Some old words of wisdom: "if your motherboard costs more than your processor, you're doing it wrong"

 

Some adjustments:

Your SSD was cachless, I gave you more memory in your GPU, faster RAM, saved you money on a motherboard, and gave you mass storage, all for cheaper than your original build.

He can go with something like a Cryorig H7 if the stock one is running too hot. Looking at prices in Canada the R7 2700 is $50 odd cheaper than the 2700X so I would go with that cpu.
