I've been planning to build a new gaming PC this year, maybe a bit after Cyber Monday. Will this part configuration run smoothly while gaming at 1080p?

No it shouldn't have any problems. Although I'd say spend that money on an i7-8700K. I couldn't picture spending that much cooling an 8600K. When an 8700K with a $35 cooler would cost the same and be faster. You can always upgrade it to liquid cooling in the spring or summer to get that extra 0.2Ghz. Alternatively switch those Corsair SP120 with Arctic F12 PWM PST fans. Then spend the difference for a mid range big air cooler on an i7-8700K. Such as a Scythe Mugen 5.
