use pc part picker to check that everything is compatible and you should be good. plus you might try swapping things in and out for better performance and better costs

Yes, good build. Good choice on choosing EVGA for that GTX 1070. This is the no-man's land of buying a GPU right now since we are nearly three years into the GTX 10xx series of cards (two years for the GTX 1070). Prices are back to normal BUT Nvidia's new GTX 1180 is coming out soon and if rumors are correct, it will be at least equal to or even faster than the GTX 1080 Ti. The question will be how much the aftermarket cards will be from EVGA. They are the only video card vendor who has a 90-day step up program meaning you can trade in your previous generation video card in that time frame of purchase for a big time credit towards upgrade.

The build is good, I would replace that 2TB seagate firecude with a regular hard drive, whenever they have to pull data that isnt cached in the SSD portion they are SLLOOWWWWWW, honestly its not worth the hassle and it'd be better to go with just a regular spinning disk because it will be far more consistent in reads and writes.

Many good and appropriate parts.
8600K, Z370 motherboard. GTX1070, Samsung ssd.
Other thoughts:
1. I am not a big proponent of liquid coolers. A less expensive cryorig H7 would work about as well.
2. With 500gb, you can defer on the hard drive until you actually need more space.
And... WD or Hitachi is apt to be a more reliable hard drive.
3. Your case comes with only one 120mm exit fan. You need to add two 120mm front intakes to get adequate cooling.
It is a good looking case but there are others with better cooling available.

The best case will have the following characteristics:
1. It must look good to YOU.
2. It must hold your parts.
3. I like to have at least two 120/140mm front intakes and no more than one 120mm rear exhaust.
That will supply sufficient cooling air for an overclocked K processor and a high end graphics card.
4. Have a washable front air filter.
By having all of the intake air come from one source and filtered, your parts will stay cleaner.
5. Have 160mm available for a good air cooler.
This lets you use some better tower type air coolers.
For only a modest oc, I would pick the scythe kotetsu.
For the very best cooling and a shot at a 5.0 overclock, there is nothing better than a noctua NH-D15s.
Just one case that ticks those points would be the similar looking NZXT 340 elite.
