I am looking to help my friend build his first PC after changing from console and his aim is to have quite a future proof PC for games like COD:BO4(Terrible I know) and other games he's said he is fine with the build I have and its price what I am asking is with my build below is there any compatibility or missing cables such as SATA for his SSD.

PC Part Picker Link

CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240L RGB 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI - Z370-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Team - Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Storage: Crucial - MX500 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

If anybody also has input for hardware changes that will either improve price or help in some way don't be afraid I am still pretty amateur at choosing PC parts. If you wanna recommend monitors as well as he is looking for a good pair of 60hz 1080p monitors.

8gb memory is bare minimum these days and you are getting 2400mhz which is even lower than Intel recommended 2666mhz and above for coffelake platform. It is also a waste for the z370 chipset for that kind of budget. Change the RAM to the uniot I have listed for better performance.
Rest is all good.

And dont worry about cables. Everything necessary fort the build is bundled with the components.

Do you own these parts or are you planning to buy them??? If you are planning to buy, then you should make these positive changes...
