Get an Arctic Freezer 33 eSports ONE instead of a CM Hyper 212, and get an 860 EVO or MX500 with at least 250GB of capacity (120GB will fill up really quickly).

That SSD isn't that good. Follow @r2724r16's advice. The Hyper 212 EVO is known for being a pain in the ass to install so a Freezer 33 would be better.

And if you can't find that one, the Cryorig H7 or Deepcool Gammax GT are also good options!

What is your budget and location ? That board is a bit poor especially for an 8700K.

@lee32uk would the motherboard effect the performance of the build? and around $1400

Yeah the board isn't that great for an 8700K. I would go with one of Gigabyte's Z390 boards.

 

Something like this. You want a good cooler as well like the Dark Rock Pro 4.
