I travel a lot for work and don't want to give up my free time to build my own system, need something that I can just take out the box and play away on and this system looks ideal. Is there anything im missing before I go ahead and order this system?

*This isn't to travel with me, I will be purchasing a 1070 Laptop to take on my travels, this is just so I've got a high power system waiting at home for my time off
 
Hi

I would look at changing the power supply as the one listed is 1050W which is overkill. A good 650W/750W would be fine for a single gpu. Something like a Seasonic Focus Gold, Antec HCG Gold or Earthwatts Gold.

I would also maybe ask them to change the cooler to a 360mm AIO. The Alphacool Eisabaer LT 360 is good value and performs well for £99. The 9900K does run hot even though it is soldered, so more cooling is never a bad thing. That Phanteks case can take a 360mm in the front or top.

Maybe ask them to put a 7200rpm HDD in place of the 5400rpm but not a huge issue.

Everything else looks ok.
