I've been interested in a gaming pc for a while now, but I'm really not into buying a prebuilt system due to their prices. Also I'm a first time builder, so all the knowledge I have comes from dozens of youtube videos and reviews. For over a month now I've been looking for parts on pcpartpicker.com and I think I got a decent system, but I am open for opinions, so if someone could take a look at it and give me some suggestions I would really appreciate it.
I want it to be future proof for at least a couple of years while I'm in college. Budget is around $2000

Here is the build

No old gen Intel anymore! Get coffee lake, the new king. My edits, larger PSU to provide some headroom for 1080ti or second 1080 in the future:

Thanks for your suggestions! Another fellow user on another post recommended an i3 8350k, which is a bit cheaper than the 8400 and better overall than the 7600k, but I dont know which of the two would perform better in gaming. Also the cooler. Do you think this one is better than the 212 evo? I've seen a lot of reviews about the evo saying it's a fantastic cooler. Everything else looks good. Thanks again for your time, really appreciate it!
