Cooler: get it. It's more important than an extra case fan (also important but all cases come with more than 1 fan)
Thermal compound: your compound's fine, this isn't a note but I noticed it came with a spreader. Do people still use those?
Graphics card: Ti all the way.
PSU: Why you spending so much on your PSU? Bronze is all you need, baby! Here's a for instance. but get what you want.
Win 10 Pro OEM
Win 10 Pro multi-system
Yours is between those 2 in price but is only OEM. Shop around a bit.
Storage: 2 things. 1: get a 500GB SSD if you can. 2: get an HDD. You're gonna need it. Just whatever's cheap and 500-1,000GB.
Case: yours is good. I like: Rosewill Case
Reason: First off, before you can even use your case, you have to buy 2 new fans out of the box, replace the front ones so you can use the front ones in this special adapter. Seriously, if you don't use the special adapter, they're LOUD AS FUCK for what they are. Now, Rosewills aren't quiet by any standard. Shit, they have a reputation as being the dirtiest, cheapest fans on the market, but they ABSOLUTELY work and you don't want to tear your eyes out. Second, yours can hodl 3 fans. The one I linked can hold 8 not counting PSU of course. Now, I wouldn't use the foremost fan on the top and maybe not even the top side panel but you set the bottom side panel and floor to blow in, the roof to exhaust and front/back in standard config and you're running a beastly system on cheap-ass fans for some reason.
Cons: it looks ugly af.
I'm pretty sure you could buy one from Amazon, but the upgrade would normally be $99 rather than $199. Otherwise, it's time to talk to a VAR.

I bought it on USB from Amazon.
FWIW - Amazon has the exact same problem selling pirated keys, just look at the reviews there. It bugs me that everyone blames Newegg for the bad keys when this isn't their problem..... lot's of the 1-star complain of bad keys or broken downloads for both home and pro:

Here are links to both Home and Pro. Once you buy it the key will (eventually) show up in your games and software library on amazon.

When I built my parents computers (a year apart) I bought one key directly from Microsoft (digital download) and the other I got from Amazon via Amazon Digital Services LLC. Everything went off without a hitch. These were full copies not OEM. Both were about the same price at the time.
​
Edit: If you are attending a university your schools software department will often have windows 10 for free. It varies by institution. That is how I got mine and my wife's copy of Pro.

You don't magically sell a $200 license for $26...Literally that company is not special, if they could sell an actual Windows 10 Pro license that cheap Best Buy, Walmart, etc would be selling the software discounted as well to compete.
They're sketchy licenses.
And if you're going to go ahead and spend $26, you might as well roll the dice on a $5 one from eBay. Why spend the extra $21?
edit These are valid retail licenses, if you search on their site I'm sure third-parties are selling the sketchy licenses for cheaper but these are sold by the vendor (Walmart, Amazon, BestBuy, etc)
That last one seems a little odd, I'm assuming it's probably an OEM license given the cost or maybe Home mislabled as Pro.
They're a far cry from $26 though. I'm glad those keys have worked for you so far but they are without a doubt gray-area/sketch licenses.
Yes: "Consider the RoI of limited-scale hardware refresh in lieu of buying Windows 10 Pro retail licenses for $189 to $199 each. It's likely that most desktop hardware without an OEM license dates from 2015 or earlier, after all. Then repurpose the original hardware to uses that don't benefit from such licenses."
