Hi

I would make a couple of changes.

Try and swap out the cooler for a bigger rad. A 360mm AIO would be better as the 9900K runs hot. The Alphacool Eisbaer LT 360 would be my suggestion.

You could drop the PSU down to 650W. The Focus Gold would save you a bit there.

Maybe stick a 2TB Seagate HDD in there as well as it is only an extra £21 over the 1TB version.

Also looks like the Asus gpu is out of stock so I would check on availability, as it will hold up the build otherwise. Other option is to go with something that is in stock.
 
Cheers for taking a look, Lee. Good shout on the cooler will get in touch with the team to see if its possible to get that one as part of the config. May just do the build myself otherwise.
