You have to know that this will be my first pc build so i have some doubts:

Will all the components i choose fit without problems ?

Do i need to put thermal past with the Corsair H100i V2 ?

Is this a good pc for 2017-2018 ?

Thank you for your attention.

It looks like a pretty solid build. It should last a reasonably long time without upgrades. I would only suggest that instead of the WD Blue, you should get the WD Red. It's mostly the same, but the Red series is a bit quieter and more reliable.

I don't think you'll need a GPU for about 3-4 years with that model. NVidia plans on users upgrading the top end cards at about that interval.

You might eventually want to add a bit more RAM, but that's really simple to do later.

The Corsair H100i does have a decent thermal paste, and it's pre-installed if I'm not mistaken. The only real issue with it is the fans. The ones that come on it are a bit loud. You might want to swap them for Noctua NF-F12 PWMs, if noise is important to you.

As for the parts fitting, the CPU cooler will not work well in that case as an exhaust. It would need to be used as an intake. Technically, you could set it up as an exhaust, but front exhausts are not advisable, as it interferes with air flow paths. If you set it up as an intake, you'll end up blowing the CPU heat through the case, and that's not good for a number of reasons, including reliability, noise, and efficiency.

If you're interested in stepping up slightly, check out the Fractal Design Define R5. It's a breeze to work with, and you can use the cooler as an exhaust.
