Pcpartpicker is giving me errors messages:
'The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.'
'The motherboard M.2 slot #2 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled.'

First address the error is actually warning. It just meant if you plug in NVME SSD, it will occupy SATA port but the mb has plenty, so no worries.

1. Since you have room for more, get 8700k instead. If 8400, no need for extra cooler, stock is enough.
2. ssd is not good quality imo, crucial/samsung are better, sata is good enough if major usage is not productivity work.
3. psu can be better
