Everything looks good except the CPU cooler. Liquid cooling isn't really worth it (for overclocking) unless you go with at least a 240mm radiator. You picked a very old 120mm AiO that would likely perform worse than a $35 Cryorig H7.

There are many better options for cooling besides the H50. You've limited yourself on air coolers with the smaller case you chose. Your best cooling option would be a 240mm AiO if you wanted to keep that case.

Yes that is interesting. I've been wondering what the 860 was all about. Looks like it improves on endurance more than speed. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/02/05/samsung-860-evo-review/
