Hello, fellow geniuses.
After three long months of researching and asking for the best option, I've finally made my decision and I'll be buying my pc really soon. I just wanted on final check that everything should work together.
Note: I'm not asking for another change inside of the build, I've had plenty of those already.
This is only a compatibility check, I'm not sure If I want to trust pcpartpicker with all this money!

Looks great. For the CPU cooler stock would be fine, but if you want a nice improvement I would pick up the Hyper 212+ from newegg. $18 after rebate.

Performance is similar to the 212 EVO which is plenty for that CPU. I would also recommend a cheaper 60Hz IPS monitor, no point paying extra for a 144Hz refresh rate unless the games you play are not that demanding and you can reach 144fps with your setup.

Unmatched Compatibility
Zero RAM Interference


Focusing on providing the widest range of
compatibility, the H7 utilizes an asymmetric slanted
heatpipe layout to move the heatsink away from the
RAM zone, Offering optimal compatibility for RAM
with tall heat spreaders on both Intel 115X and
AMD platforms.
