The Arctic i32 isn't enough cooler for an i7-8700k. It'll do the job, kinda the same way most cpus have a stock cooler, but don't expect any real OC or hard usage such as rendering or the fan on that arctic will be screaming and temps will be very high. I'd strongly suggest a Noctua NH-D15S if sticking to air coolers. While Corsair specs say 156mm, there's no issue with 160mm, and can even get to 170mm although 171mm hits the window. According to reviews, the specs really don't match the case, you can stick 3x fans in front, just shift the 2x pre-installed fans up. (or down).
Other than that, all you seem to be missing is the really expensive component, the gpu and possibly an SSD for the Windows drive. (helps considerably)

Gpu market is pretty terrible right now so I'm going to wait a bit to find a good deal on a one. I plan to get a 250 gb ssd when I have a bit more money.
Thanks for the advice!

MERGED QUESTION
Question from ikemage1015 : "Compatibility Check for First PC Build"



That should work but I would question what the PC will be used for since you have no video card and as of now the power supply is massive overkill for what you have listed.
