There is no part list in your post. But if this is $2000 USD, then this should be good...

I wouldn't recommend an aging h100i cooler over the better h115i coolers.
Ram should be 3200 for best performance/money ratio
PSU of 750W is a bit over kill, because you want it to be running about 60% of power draw for optimum efficiency.
A 650 would be preferable to save a few $ on power draw.

It's best to get a PSU that's at least 80 Plus Bronze. Gold is next up, then the best is Platinum. Basically, they function more efficiently and last longer. If you don't like a mess of cables, get one that's modular(fully modular preferred). That way you only have to have the cables you actually need, hooked up.
 


Stick with the Seasonic focus in your initial post.
Quality counts more than gold/bronze efficiency.
Gold is in order if you want quiet operation.
Because the psu is more efficient, the fan may never need to turn on.
Seasonic quality is very good.
650w will run a strong GTX1080ti.
I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.
