I'm building my 1st gaming PC and I have chosen these parts and they fit into my budget

Processor: i7-8700k up to 4.7 GHz (6 Cores)
Mother Board: Gigabyte - Z370 Aorus Gaming 7
Cpu Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 240MM Liquid Cooler
Ram: G.SKILL TRIDENT Z RGB 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 3200MHz
GPU: GIGABYTE - RTX 2080 Windforce 8GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB @ 7200 RPM
SSD: Kingston - 240 GB (A 400)
Smps: Corsair - RM750X (750W Modular)
Case: Corsair - 500D RGB

Is my rig good or should I make some changes ? Please suggest if any changes needed
 
Good enough, but if you want to make your pc future proof then only go for the rtx, because nowadays not a lot of games support rtx(battlefield V and shadow of the tomb Raider are the games I know) it will probably take another 1-2 years to make more rtx supporting games and make the old games rtx supported...if you want it to use for casual gaming for now, go for the gtx 1080 ti 11gb for now, depends on you...
 
You're putting a ton of really high-end components in a rig and only getting a Kingston SSD (and only 240GB at that) and Seagate HDD.

Also unless you're planning to play at 4k or 2k 144Hz your rig is really OP. I have an 8700k and 1080 Ti and there are very few games I can't play on Ultra on either my 3440 x 1440 100Hz X34 or my 4k 60Hz G-sync monitors.

I would redo a few things and get only what you will actually need, for example if you are only playing at 1080p, save yourself a few hundred buck, get an RTX 2070 which will still blow away anything at 1080 for years to come, and spring for a Samsung 860 evo with a little more space on it.

Just depends what you're actually doing.
For a 4k rig, yeah it's great. If you're not playing at 4k it's a lot of wasted power.
