I am working on building a new PC but I have never done it before. I am having someone put it together for me so I am bought and in the process of buying the parts.

So far my current PC that was built a few years ago has the following. I am also using the Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case and I love this case. I want to avoid getting a Full tower if possible. I don't like RGB that much so in the Corsair Case it is all black with the minor blue light ontop of the case from the Video Card I believe.

UserBenchmarks: Game 72%, Desk 65%, Work 50%
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K - 71.4%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070 - 79.6%
SSD: Adata XPG SX900 512GB - 49.6%
HDD: Seagate ST3750528AS 750GB - 41.3%
HDD: WD Black 750GB (2008) - 42.7%
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1600 C10 4x8GB - 49.9%
MBD: Asus MAXIMUS VI HERO
========================================================

The New PC Parts I have bought are the following

I Currently bought EVGA 2080 Ti, G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory, Samsung 970 Pro SSD 1TB, ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 Gaming Motherboard LGA1151a, i9 9900KS Intel Processor.

I was just curious if I bought the same Mid Tower if I could fit all of this stuff in? I still need to buy Heatsink, Power Supply, DVD Drive, HDD for Storage, Fans I believe. In my current machine I had to buy a new 1070 and I had to remove the fan off the side to fit it and I have Fan on Power supply fan on top of case and Heatsink has a fan.

Sorry if I posted this is the wrong place. I had another post about building a PC in MOBO section but I was looking for general help.

Thanks again for any help you could provide me.

No worries. For its size, there's an amazing amount of usable space in a 200R, although out of the 3 versions, I'd opt for the tempered glass, not the fanless acrylic or the dual fan panels, they really don't help much and do let in a bunch of dust.

Basically everything you've picked out is the same size as what you have now, and there'll be plenty of room for just the intakes and rear/top-rear as exhausts, which is all you'll need. And with 165mm of cooler clearance, there's plenty of room for a decent cpu cooler.
 
Your parts will fit.
But, I am worried about cooling.
You did not state what processor you are going to use, but assuming it is a 9700K, you are going to need some good cooling.
You will also be replacing with a hotter graphics card.
The 200r specs show only one 120mm front intake which is not going to be sufficient.

I might suggest the antec P101 silent case:

The 200R fits 2x 120mm in the front, only 1x is included. Pretty normal for non-glass, non-rgb front panels. Paired with a rear and top-rear exhaust or a 240mm AIO on top, there's plenty of airflow, even for a 9700k. Be not enough for a 9900k/ks, but that's from a cooler standpoint, needing a 280mm/360mm AIO.

I'd suggest a couple of Noctua NF-A12x25 or the black chromax version for front intakes and move the stock fan to exhaust position.

BeQuiet Darkrock 4 or Pro, or Noctua NH-D15S or black version will take care of any cpu except the 9900k/ks.

The processor I am going to use is the i9 9900KS

I am not doing liquid cooling..I need a Heat sink but there are so many choices. Also How many fans do I need?

I still need to figure out what Heat sink to get, Power supply, Optical drive, and Extra HDD for Storage.

I am using 9900Ks Intel, EVGA 2080 Ti, 970 Pro SSD 1TB, G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory, ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 Gaming Motherboard LGA1151a.

So now all that is left is which case to fit this stuff in a Mid Tower? Which Heat sink? What else do I need for cooling?

This is what I put up. Not locked in for sure on case. All I know is I want a quiet mid tower case.
